الملخص EN

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection that results in rapid local tissue destruction.

Type 1 necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by polymicrobial, synergistic infections that are caused by non-Group A streptococci, aerobic and anaerobic organisms.

Type 2 necrotizing fasciitis involves Group A Streptococcus (GAS) with or without a coexisting staphylococcal infection.

Here we provide the first report of necrotizing fasciitis jointly associated with the microbes Group B Streptococcus and Staphylococcus lugdunensis.

S.

lugdunensis is a commensal human skin bacterium known to cause often painful and prolonged skin and soft tissue infections.

To our knowledge, however, this is the first case of Staph.

lugdunensis-associated necrotizing fasciitis to be reported in the literature.
