There were no differences in length of stay, mortality, or discharge disposition between groups. A higher rate of respiratory failure was observed in the obese versus non-obese group (36.7% vs. 20.9%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0005). The obese cohort was associated with perineal (40.8% vs. 27.0%) and torso NSTIs (20.9% vs. 15.8%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.005) but reduced staphylococcal (19.2% vs. 27.4%; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and group A streptococcal (2.6% vs. 6.5%; p\u2009=\u20090.03) infections, and increased polymicrobial infections. Class 2 obesity was a negative predictor for in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03\u20130.5) and 90-day mortality (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1\u20130.8), when adjusting for demographic data, type of infection, and baseline comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Necrotizing soft tissue infections in obesity may present with unique distributions and microbial characteristics.
