Summary Introduction

To review:

The metastatic lesion.

Introduction:

Microbes like bacteria, virus, and fungi are the causative agents for a wide variety of diseases. These diseases can range from mild to severe life-threatening conditions. The microflora of the skin and the gut prevent infections by some of these pathogens. The thick layer of the skin also acts as a barrier, however, a minor injury to the skin can cause the entry of pathogens into susceptible tissues of the host.
