Abstrait

Les staphylocoques sont les principaux germes bactériens composant la flore cutanée normale. En revanche, le portage de streptocoques et notamment de Streptococcus pyogenes est transitoire et s’observe le plus souvent en peau lésée. Les infections cutanées secondaires à ces deux bactéries cocci à Gram positif surviennent soit directement en raison de leur caractère pathogène au sein du tissu cutané, soit indirectement par la libération de toxines agissant comme des superantigènes potentiellement responsables de chocs toxiques. Les tableaux cliniques ne permettent pas toujours de distinguer les infections streptococciques des infections staphylococciques et leur gravité varie selon la profondeur de l’atteinte cutanée et des structures impliquées (follicule pileux, épiderme, hypoderme...) (tableau 23.1).
