NECROTIZING FASCIITIS DUE TO Finegoldia magna (Peptostreptococcus magnus) AS THE SOLE ISOLATE- RARE REPORT FROM INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis by Finegoldia magna (formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus) in a 70 year old male patient,which started after trauma with wooden stick. Immediate institution of treatment is necessary to stop progression of the disease and improve the prognosis of the case. In general, Gram positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) are susceptible to the antibiotics used to treat an anaerobic infections. However microbiologists should realize that the F. magna has one of the highest resistance rates among GPAC and that there seems to be geographical differences in resistance. Microbiologist should pay more attention towards identification of F. magna from suspected clinical specimens.
