Recurrent chancriform pyoderma: report of a case with tongue lesions. Is Staphylococcus aureus implicated?

The British Journal of Dermatology

Abstract

We report a case of recurrent chancriform pyoderma. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from only one of seven lesions. Immunological responses to S. aureus, as measured by peripheral neutrophil function, were normal. We question the notion that chancriform pyoderma represents an abnormal immune response to a primary staphylococcal infection. To our knowledge, this is only the third reported patient with lesions affecting the tongue.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
