Summary Introduction
To summarize:
The methods used to differentiate infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Also, discuss the spectrum of skin and tissue diseases caused by each.
Concept introduction:
The most prevalent cause of bacterial infection in a healthy person is Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. These bacteria enter the skin of a healthy individual through a small cut or break and cause blisters and swollen lesions accompanied by several other symptoms. Cellulitis and impetigo are mainly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. All the infections related to hair follicle are mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
