 bacteria. Streptococcal Infections spread rapidly in the skin because they produce enzymes that hinder the ability of the tissue to confine the infection. Cellulitis that is caused by that is Antibiotic resistance has become a more common cause of cellulitis. This strain is called methicillin-resistant Bacteria usually enter through small breaks in the skin that result from scrapes, punctures, surgery, burns, fungal infections (such as Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis) ), animal bites, and skin disorders. Areas of the skin that become swollen with fluid (edema) are especially vulnerable. However, cellulitis can also occur in skin that is not obviously injured. Certain types of bacteria can cause cellulitis when skin damaged by injuries (such as cuts) is immersed in water. The type of bacteria may depend on the type of water, for example, fresh-water ponds or small lakes, hot tubs, or sea water. People whose immune system is weakened may be susceptible to bacteria that do not usually cause infections.
