| Ordering info (EPIC SmartText) | A wide variety of microorganisms that reside on the skin and mucous membranes of the body, as well as those found in the environment can cause skin and soft tissue infection. The organisms enter the body through breaks in the skin or mucous membranes, through wounds made by trauma or bites (exogenous) or a complication of surgery or foreign body implants (endogenous) or they can be spread through the vascular system (hematogenous). Specimens should be collected prior to initial therapy and only from wounds that are clinically infected or deteriorating or fail to heal over a long period. |
