Author(s): Agnieszka Grabinska*, Lukasz Michalczyk, Anna Grabinska, Tomasz Syrylo and Tomasz Zabkowski
Introduction: Fournier’s Gangrene (FG) is a devastating necrotising disease that affects the perineum and genitourinary regions. The aim of this study is to identify pathogens whose growth was associated with FG and their antibiotic sensitivity/resistance patterns based on bacterial culture; in addition, this study investigated the relationship between causative pathogens and prognostic factors and mortality.
Materials and methods: It was a retrospective study of 35 patients who were treated for fournier's gangrene in the period from 2017 to 2022. The study group consisted only of male persons (n=35) aged 24-85 years. Demographic data were evaluated and their relationship with causative pathogens, as well as their impact on antibiotic sensitivity and resistance patterns, were investigated.
