Complicated skin and skin structure Proteus infection

A complicated skin and skin structure *Proteus* infection is an invasive bacterial infection involving deep integumentary layers, such as the deep subcutaneous tissues, fascia, or muscle, etiologically attributed to or co-infected with the Gram-negative bacillus *Proteus* (most commonly *Proteus mirabilis*) These infections frequently exhibit polymicrobial involvement alongside other aerobic or anaerobic flora, carry an elevated risk of systemic bacteremia, and typically require surgical interve...

Pathophysiologically, the infection is characterized by progressive tissue destruction, intense localized inflammation, necrosis, and suppurative drainage, often facilitated by bacterial virulence traits including flagellar motility, biofilm matrix formation, and endotoxin-mediated inflammation
