Pyoderma (Supplement page)This is a skin infection caused by several different bacteria affecting differing areas and thicknesses of the skin. Surface pyoderma, This is where bacteria colonise the outermost layer of the skin, Superficial pyoderma, the bacterial infection is at the level of the intact hair follicle, Deep pyoderma, the bacterial infection extends beneath and beyond the hair follicle. Staphylococcus Intermedius (natural resident of the skin) becomes pathogenic, while other organisms may be involved, mostly the problem is Staphylococcal. Staphylococcal infections are a common group of infections caused by the staphylococcus bacteria. There are several different strains of staphylococcal bacteria, the most common being staphylococcus aureus. Different strains of the bacteria cause different infections. Staphylococcal infections mainly affect the skin, but can cause serious internal disorders. Pyoderma is the medical term used to denote infections of the skin caused by bacteria, defined as a pus-producing infection, but pus is not always visible nor is the presence of pustules.
