A postoperative gynecologic infection due to *Streptococcus* is a surgical site or pelvic organ-space infection occurring in female patients following gynecologic surgical procedures, such as hysterectomies or open pelvic interventions Pathophysiologically, it arises when pathogenic *Streptococcus* species—such as *Streptococcus pyogenes* (Group A *Streptococcus*), *Streptococcus agalactiae* (Group B *Streptococcus*), or other streptococcal strains—colonize and breach disrupted mucosal or tissue...
