− | Cutaneous bacterial infections tend to be called '''pyodermas'''. They are superficial, deep and are common in dogs, but less common in other species.

| |
− | *Affects epidermis and upper infundibulum of hair follicles
| |
− | *No scarring when healed
| |
− | *Grossly:

− | ===Deep pyoderma===
| |
− | | |
− | *Less common than superficial pyoderma
| |
− | *Occurs mainly in dogs
| |
− | *Affects infundibulum, isthmic portion of hair follicles and surrounding dermis and subcutis
| |
− | *Heals with scarring
| |
− | *Local lymph nodes are often affected
| |
− | *Often secondary to immunosuppression, follicular hyperkeratosis or [[Parasitic skin infections - Pathology#Demodicosis|demodicosis]]

− | *Microscopically:

− | **Pyogranulomatous folliculitis and furunculosis

− | **Nodular or diffuse dermatitis
| |
− | **Panniculitis
| |
− | *May involve a foreign bodey reaction to follicular contents and draining sinuses develop
| |
− | *If chronic, scarring and loss of adnexa
