Overview
Fournier gangrene is caused by mixed aerobic and anaerobic organisms which normally exist below the pelvic diaphragm in the perineum and genitalia.[1] Fournier gangrene may be caused by the following organisms:[2]
Causes
Fournier gangrene is caused by mixed aerobic and anaerobic organisms which normally exist below the pelvic diaphragm in the perineum and genitalia.[1] Fournier gangrene may be caused by the following organisms:[3]
Bacteria
Aerobic organisms
Most common aerobic organisms are:[4]
Anaerobic organisms
Most common anaerobic organisms are:
Other organisms
- Streptococcus
- Enterococcus
- Corynebacterium[5]
- Clostridium
