Abstract
Cutibacterium avidum is a member of the skin microbiota whose composition changes with age. Recently, it has been implicated in infections associated with implants and other medical devices, and it is now recognized as an etiological agent of surgical site infections. We present six cases of surgical site infections following aesthetic surgery: three cases linked to gluteal implants, one to gluteoplasty without implants, one to liposuction and one to abdominoplasty. Previously, C. avidum was considered a contaminant; however, recent findings indicate virulence factors and pathogenic behavior, so now is regarded as a potential causative agent of infection.
期刊介绍：
Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes.
Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
