7 results about "Skin infection" patented technology

An infection of the skin and skin structure is an infection—generally in humans, but relevant to other animals as well—of the animal's skin and associated soft tissues (such as loose connective tissue and mucous membranes). Historically, they have comprised a category of infections termed skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs) or skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), and more recently, the important bacterial component of them as acute bacterial SSSIs (ABSSSIs). They are distinguished from dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), although skin infections can result in skin inflammation.
