Cellulitis Causes
Cellulitis is obtained by different types of bacteria. For example; if
cellulitis develops due to a common household cut, the bacteria
responsible is usually either Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus
aureus. If cellulitis develops due to a cat bite, the culprit is
usually Pasteurella multocida. The most common infecting organisms are
beta-haemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Less
common bacteria include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly following
a puncture wound involving the foot or hand, and Haemophilus influenzae
in children with facial cellulitis. There are many other ways in which
bacteria can get through the skin, such as dog bites or through
surgical wounds.
