Fournier’s gangrene is a polymicrobial infection of perineal and scrotal regions that manifests as a rapidly progressive
necrotizing fasciitis. Because of the importance of targeted antibiotic therapy, awareness of the spectrum of microbes
that might be associated with lesion is imperative. Here we report an extremely rare but rapidly progressive case of
necrotizing fasciitis associated with the Staphylococcus lungdunensis. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016; 6(3): 132-135
