Where Does Pyogenic Infection Occur?

A pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a pocket of pus that forms in the liver due to a bacterial infection. Pus is a fluid composed of white blood cells and dead cells that typically forms when your body fights off infection.

How is pyogenic infection formed?

Infections in which pus is produced are known as pyogenic, that is, pus-producing infections. A wound, whether surgical or accidental, has a tendency to become infected. Strains of Staphylococcus aureus, which are resistant to many of the available antibiotics, are not uncommon in hospitals.

What are the types of pyogenic infection?

Pyogenic bacteria
  • Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Staphylococcus epidermidis.
  • Streptococcus pyogenes.
  • Escherichia coli (Bacillus coli communis)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (Fraenkel's pneumococcus)
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae (Friedländer's bacillus)
  • Salmonella typhi (Bacillus typhosus)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
