- Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can all cause skin and wound infections.The microorganisms that typically infect wounds and the skin depend on what is present in the environment, the state of the person's immune system, and the depth of the wound.hey may also be caused by colonizing bacteria and antibiotic resistant bacteria, such as MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Brackish water wound infections may be due to waterborne Vibrio or Aeromonas species. Hot tub-associated infections may be caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

- Causes. Cellulitis occurs when bacteria, most commonly streptococcus and staphylococcus, enter through a crack or break in your skin. The incidence of a more serious staphylococcus infection called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasing.

30 Years of Harley-Davidson Softails First-year H-D Evo engines were a huge improvement over the iron Shovelhead they replaced. In ’84, you could still get a kickstarter with your four-speed. Every motorcycle manufacturer—those that have survived, anyway—has a model that either put it on the map or kept it from tumbling over the cliff.

Bacterial Skin Infections: Impetigo and MRSA Bacterial Skin Infections: Impetigo and MRSA What kinds of bacteria can cause contagious skin infections? Certain bacteria commonly live on the skin of many people without causing harm. However, these bacteria can cause skin infections if they enter the body through cuts, open wounds, or other breaks in the skin. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, or pus. How serious are bacterial skin infections? While many bacterial skin infections are mild and easily treatable, some can become very serious and even life threatening. In addition, some bacterial infections can be spread to others. This is why prevention is so important. What are the two most common bacteria that cause skin infections? Group A Streptococcus (GAS), often called strep. Staphylococcus aureus, commonly called staph. Impetigo What is impetigo? Impetigo is a common bacterial skin infection caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS) or strep. What is Group A Streptococcus (GAS)?

Bacterial Infections Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Antibiotics are the usual treatment. When you take antibiotics, follow the directions carefully. Each time you take antibiotics, you increase the chances that bacteria in your body will learn to resist them causing antibiotic resistance. Later, you could get or spread an infection that those antibiotics cannot cure.

Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis) The most common bacteria causing urinary tract infection or kidney infection are those that are normally seen in the vagina, gastrointestinal tract, or skin. By far, the most common organism causing urinary tract infection is Escherichia coli (E. coli), responsible for up to 80% of kidney and urinary infections.Other common bacteria include Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.idney and urinary tract infections may be caused by bacteria invading the urine, which is normally a sterile body fluid. Bacteria most commonly gain access to the urine through the urethra, which can be exposed to bacteria from outside of the body.

- Microaerophilic and anaerobic bacteria may be found in deeper wounds and abscesses. Superficial infections occur primarily in the outer layers of the skin but may extend deeper into the subcutaneous layer. They are primarily caused by aerobic microorganisms, but deeper wounds may also be infected with anaerobes.

Anaerobic bacteria can infect deep wounds, deep tissues, and internal organs where there is little oxygen. Skin and soft tissue. 2  Anaerobic bacteria are common causes of diabetic skin ulcers, gangrene, destructive infection of the deep skin and tissues (necrotizing fascitis), and bite wound infections. 3  Central nervous system. 4  Anaerobic bacteria can cause brain and spinal cord abscesses.

- Staphylococci are gram-positive aerobic organisms. Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic; it typically causes skin infections and sometimes pneumonia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis.taphylococci are commonly implicated in wound and burn infections, postoperative incision infections, and mastitis or breast abscess in breastfeeding mothers. Neonatal infections usually appear within 6 wk after birth and include skin lesions with or without exfoliation, bacteremia, meningitis, and pneumonia.
