MICROORGANISMS THAT CAUSE PURULENT INFLAMMATION: THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE EFFECTS OF STAPHYLOCOCCI AND STREPTOCOCCI ON THE BODY

Purulent diseases of skin and soft tissues occupy the leading place among surgical infections, both in terms of frequency of development and possible complications, and the third place by frequency in the etiologicalv structure of sepsis [1, 2, 3, 4]. The causative factors of purulent skin and soft tissue infections are usually bacteria and often in polymicrobial composition: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp. (Streptococcus pyogenes, less frequently group B, C and G streptocococci), Enterobacteriaceae and anaerobic microorganisms (Bacteroides fragilis group and Clostridium spp.) [3, 5, 6].
