Complicated skin and skin structure Peptostreptococcus infection

Complicated skin and skin structure *Peptostreptococcus* infection is an infectious process of the integumentary system involving deeper subcutaneous tissues, fascia, or muscle layers, driven wholly or in part by anaerobic gram-positive cocci of the genus *Peptostreptococcus*

These infections typically arise in compromised anatomic or host settings, including surgical wound disruptions, decubitus ulcers, complex abscesses, or ischemic diabetic foot lesions, where impaired local tissue oxygenation fosters anaerobic proliferation
