1 Cellulitis spreads more slowly and extends more deeply into the subcutaneous tissues; hence, the borders of cellulitis are ill-defined (in contrast to erysipelas). Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus are common pathogens causing cellulitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae can cause buccal cellulites associated with bacteremia in unimmunized young children. (Photo contributor: Binita R. Shah, MD.) Source: Chapter 3.
