Overview

Skin is the largest organ on our body and the first line of protection against the environment. Microorganisms are naturally present on our skin and can also invade our system to cause skin infections. The skin infections can also be caused by the bacteria invading normal skin, or affecting a compromised skin barrier such as skin affected by atopic dermatitis, or surgical wound sites. The bacterial skin infections can range from  mild and localized problems, such as impetigo or folliculitis, to more serious and potentially life-threatening conditions like cellulitis or necrotizing fasciitis.
There are a wide array of bacteria responsible for causing skin infections such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. To treat the bacterial skin infections the mediicne or antibiotic can be applied topically or taken orally to fight the baterial infection. You can avoid the bacterial skin infections by taking good care of yourself and preventing any skin injuries.
