    Author: Charnot-Katsikas A, Dorafshar AH, Aycock JK, David MZ, Weber SG, Frank KM.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2009 Jan; 47(1):258-63. PubMed ID: 18923009.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing fasciitis has conventionally been associated with the streptococci, and when it is caused by other organisms, it is most often the result of a polymicrobial infection. We report on two cases of fatal monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis due to Acinetobacter baumannii, an unusual finding that may be an indication of enhanced virulence of the organism.
