| Title | [Cutaneous abscess due to Gemella morbillorum.] | | Author(s) | Villamil C L, Villar Del C A, Masa V LA | | Institution | Unidad de Hospitalización a Domicilio, Departamento de Medicina, Hospital Gil Casares, Santiago de Compostela, España. | | Source | Rev Chilena Infectol 2009 Oct; 26(5):464-5. | | Abstract | We report a cutaneous abscess due to Gemella morbillorum, a Gram positive coccus found in oropharyngeal flora, that rarely causes disease in humans. Infections associated to this agent are similar to those related to viridans streptococci. There have been reports of endovascular infections (predominantly endocarditis) and also of acute invasive infections. Few previous reports are available of cutaneous infection. | | Language | spa | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
