This condition affects the integumentary system across pediatric and adult populations, frequently arising after disruptions to the epidermal barrier such as abrasions, surgical incisions, ulcerations, or underlying dermatoses Clinically, these infections present along a spectrum ranging from superficial follicular or pustular eruptions (such as folliculitis and impetigo) to deeper, suppurative lesions characterized by localized erythema, warmth, edema, pain, induration, and purulence, including...

Pathophysiologically, the bacteria proliferate, evade host immune defenses, and release toxins and enzymes that induce localized tissue destruction and robust inflammatory cascades

Clinically, these infections present along a spectrum ranging from superficial follicular or pustular eruptions (such as folliculitis and impetigo) to deeper, suppurative lesions characterized by localized erythema, warmth, edema, pain, induration, and purulence, including furuncles, cutaneous abscesses, cellulitis, and wound infections
