<\/span><\/h2>\nGram-negative folliculitis is an acne-like disorder caused by a bacterial<\/span> infection<\/span>. Gram-negative bacteria<\/span> They include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella, and Proteus species.<\/p>\nThe term "Gram negative" refers to the staining pattern of the organisms<\/span> at the laboratory. Certain bacteria do not absorb a stain known as a "Gram."<\/p>\nGram-negative folliculitis can result from long-term treatment of acne with tetracycline or current<\/span> antibiotics<\/p>\nOther skin conditions due to gram-negative bacteria include:<\/p>\n

<\/span>What does gram-negative folliculitis look like?<\/span><\/h2>\nGram-negative folliculitis is a pustular<\/span> eruption<\/span> Acne-like It is often mistaken for worsening acne as it generally occurs in patients with existing acne.<\/p>\nIn approximately 80% of patients, gram-negative folliculitis causes superficial pustules<\/span> with relatively few papules<\/span> and comedones<\/span>. These injuries are generally caused by species of Klebsiella, Escherichia and Serratia.<\/p>\nIn approximately 20% of patients with gram-negative folliculitis, the lesions are deep, nodular<\/span> and cyst<\/span>-I like it. These are caused by Proteus species, which can deeply invade the skin and create pus-filled abscesses and cysts.<\/p>\nGram-negative folliculitis lesions are generally found around the area of the upper lip under the nose, down to the chin and cheeks.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Gram negative bacteria folliculitis<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>How is the diagnosis of gram-negative folliculitis made?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe poor response of a pustular rash to standard anti-acne antibiotics can lead to the suspicion that an unusual organism may be present. The diagnosis of gram-negative folliculitis is made by microscopy<\/span> \/ \/ cytology<\/span>. The bacteria appear red or pink with Gram stain.<\/p>\nBacterial culture<\/span> Identify which species is responsible for the infection. Bacteria undergo antibiotic sensitivity tests, as this differs between them.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the treatment for gram-negative folliculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nGram-negative folliculitis usually clears up quickly with:<\/p>\n
