- 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
- Generally susceptible to penicillin, amoxicillin, rifampin, ciprofloxacin, and clindamycin
Further Reading
