We describe the characteristics of 11 cases of skin and soft tissue infections due to Cutibacterium (formerly Propionibacterium) avidum. This microorganism should be considered a potential skin pathogen especially in patients with breast infections. The clinical outcome is usually good but serious infections such as necrotizing infections may occur.
我们描述了11例由嗜皮丙酸杆菌(以前称为痤疮丙酸杆菌)引起的皮肤和软组织感染的特征。这种微生物应被视为一种潜在的皮肤病原体,尤其是在患有乳腺感染的患者中。临床结果通常良好,但可能会发生严重感染,如坏死性感染。
