During 1 year 116 patients with paronychia had bacteriological cultures of the pus. Aerobic bacteria, predominantly Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from 81. Anaerobic bacteria were isolated from 35, and in 31 of these aerobes were also present. Anaerobic paronychias were less acute that those caused by aerobes but otherwise the clinical features and management were the same. The anaerobes isolated were those found as oro-pharyngeal commensals and did not include the colonic commensal Bacteroides fragilis. They were, with few exceptions, sensitive to penicillin.

is a rare encapsulated Gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic rod belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. It tends to inhabit water and soil environments and can be found on insects, fish, ticks, and termites, but can also found in the hospital environment. has been documented in respiratory, urinary, gastrointestinal, and biliary tract infections as well as bacteraemia and systemic infections but has rarely been documented in soft tissue infections.

The commensal microbiome influences skin immunity, but its function in toenail health remains unclear. Paronychia is one of the most common inflammatory toenail diseases, but antibiotic treatment is seldom effective in clinical cases. In this study, we performed sequencing to investigate the characteristics of microbes associated with paronychia in order to identify the key microorganisms involved in inflammation.

is an anaerobic, gram-negative bacillus which naturally thrives in the human vagina, and is usually related to vaginal tract infections. However, this microorganism can also cause infections in other body locations. Infections with are frequently severe due to the risk of osteomyelitis and the lack of good protocols for adequate therapeutic management.

Infections are an important source of morbidity in pediatric hands that come from frequent exposure to mouths and other dangers while exploring the world. Although Staphylococcus aureus is still the most common organism in pediatric hand infections, it is less common than in adults because pediatric patients are more likely to develop mixed aerobic/anaerobic infections or group A Streptococcus pyogenes infection. Pediatric patients with open physes potentially may sustain Seymour fractures of the distal phalanges that may become infected and sources for osteomyelitis if not recognized early.
