Skin and skin structure Peptostreptococcus infection

A skin and skin structure *Peptostreptococcus* infection is a bacterial infection of the cutaneous and deeper subcutaneous tissues caused by Gram-positive anaerobic cocci of the genus *Peptostreptococcus* Pathophysiologically, disruption of cutaneous integrity allows normally commensal mucocutaneous bacteria to invade deeper, low-oxygen tissue environments, resulting in localized purulent inflammation, tissue necrosis, fluctuant abscess formation, or cellulitis

Commonly occurring in adults and individuals with compromised skin barriers, surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, or immunodeficiency, these organisms frequently participate in polymicrobial infections alongside aerobic or other anaerobic pathogens
