Abstract
Benign papular eruption on the left leg of a 72-year-old diabetic man developed into rapidly spreading necrotizing fasciitis despite antimicrobial therapy and surgical debridements. This led to eventual amputation to control the infection. The etiological agent was a Staphylococcus aureus isolate harboring the enterotoxin gene cluster seg, sei, sem, sen, and seo but lacked all common toxin genes, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin.Entities:
