What Are the Histological Features of Skin Infections by Staphylococcus Aureus?
Skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, such as impetigo and furuncles, show distinct histological features. Impetigo typically demonstrates epidermal necrosis and the presence of bacteria within the stratum corneum. Furuncles, or boils, show deep dermal and subcutaneous abscesses with surrounding inflammatory infiltrate.
