title: Gram-negative bacterial skin infections.
abstract: The gram-negative bacilli are a very diverse group of organisms with varied antimicrobial resistance patterns and degrees of pathogenicity. In consequence, it is difficult to make confident statements on appropriate therapies. Here the most common types of infections, or infecting organisms, are described together with reported successful therapies.
