Soft tissue infections are caused by a multitude of bacteria. Their pathogenicity depends on the ability to adhere to surfaces, certain characteristics of the cell wall, exoenzymes or exotoxins, and endotoxins. Because etiologic classification of soft tissue infections is not satisfactory, we propose a clinical classification. 1. Abscesses are caused by staphylococci (carbuncle or suppurative hydroadenitis) or by polymicrobial infections (most subcutaneous abscesses). They are treated by incision and drainage and primary closure of the skin after drainage and curettage is often successful. Only in special cases are antibiotics indicated. 2. Cellulitis mostly caused by streptococci responds well to antibiotic therapy without surgery. 3. Ulcerative lesions i.e. pseudomonal gangrene and Meleney's gangrene need specific antibiotic therapy and complete excision with delayed grafting.
