Evaluate the statements below, and select those that correctly apply to the role of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes in skin infections. Select all that apply. [ ] Necrotizing fasciitis can develop from simple skin infections if S. aureus or S. pyogenes produce superantigens, molecules that over-activate T cells causing massive tissue destruction. [ ] Erysipelas involves infection of a hair follicle and the surrounding tissue by S. aureus. [ ] Carbuncles and furuncles are both infections of hair follicles. The main difference is that a furuncle involves a single follicle, whereas a carbuncle involves several follicles and causes swelling deep under the skin. [ ] Necrotizing fasciitis is caused exclusively by S. pyogenes; the superantigen released by this organism leads to the tissue destruction that ensues. [ ] A furuncle is a lesion caused by S. pyogenes when it enters a break in the skin, usually accompanied by a fever and can lead to septic shock if not treated.
