Abstract

During the period from March, 1994, to March, 2001, 74 strains of streptococci were isolated from skin and skin structure infections. Group A, B, C and other streptococci were isolated from 43, 17, 5 and 9 patients, respectively. Group B streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) were frequently isolated from abscess, cellulitis, and impetigo. Half of the patients had an underlying disease such as diabetes mellitus or atopic dermatitis. Group C streptococci (Streptococcus equisimilis) were frequently isolated from impetigo and cellulitis together with Staphylococcus aureus. Other streptococci isolated from skin infections were viridans streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
