Background
Microbiology
- Gram-positive obligate anaerobic coccus within the genus Finegoldia
- Usually appear in polymicrobial infections, but can be monomicrobial
Clinical Manifestations
- Can cause wound, soft tissue, and bone and joint infections
- One of the main species involved in infections of chronic ulcers, including diabetic foot infections, venous stasis ulcers, and pressure injuries
- Case reports of endocarditis, breast abscess, pleural empyema, mediastinitis, chronic balanitis, and bacterial vaginosis
Management
- Almost always susceptible to penicillin, amoxicillin, clindamycin, metronidazole, and vancomycin
- Unclear if susceptible to fluoroquinolones, but they are occasionally used to treat
Further Reading
