Eggerthia catenaformis has mostly been reported linked to dental abscesses but this report presents a case of a poor controlled diabetic with E. catenaformis induced necrotizing infection. Forty nine-year-old male presented to the emergency department with left arm pain and swelling, associated with foul smelling drainage. Physical examination exhibited left upper extremity tenderness, erythema, fluctuance, and crepitus. Patient was taken to the operating room for forearm fasciotomy, amputation of third digit, and washout. Cultures were positive for E. catenaformis. The pathogenicity and severity of E. catenaformis is mostly unknown. Clinicians should be aware of this rare entity for its complexity and management worldwide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaf769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,3]],"date-time":"2025-10-03T18:48:12Z","timestamp":1759517292000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Monomicrobial necrotizing soft tissue infection of upper extremity caused by <i>Eggerthia catenaformis<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2025","author":[{"given":"Nadeem","family":"Chaudhry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, The Brooklyn Hospital Center, Icahn School of Medicine , 121 DeKalb Ave, Brooklyn NY 11201 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abid","family":"Qureshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Brooklyn Hospital Center , 121 DeKalb Ave, Brooklyn NY 11201 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dhipthika","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Brooklyn Hospital Center , 121 DeKalb Ave, Brooklyn NY 11201 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Davrayev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. George\u2019s University School of Medicine, University Centre Grenada , West Indies ,","place":["Grenada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natasha","family":"Vo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. George\u2019s University School of Medicine, University Centre Grenada , West Indies ,","place":["Grenada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Wallour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. George\u2019s University School of Medicine, University Centre Grenada , West Indies ,","place":["Grenada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minnah","family":"Chaudhry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Brooklyn Hospital Center , 121 DeKalb Ave, Brooklyn NY 11201 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025100314480714200_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idc.2020.10.004","article-title":"Necrotizing soft tissue infections","volume":"35","author":"Stevens","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infect Dis Clin N Am"},{"key":"2025100314480714200_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1067\/j.cpsurg.2014.06.001","article-title":"Necrotizing soft tissue infections: review and current concepts in treatment, systems of care, and outcomes","volume":"51","author":"Hakkarainen","year":"2014","journal-title":"Curr Probl Surg"},{"key":"2025100314480714200_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2520","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.029231-0","article-title":"Reclassification of Lactobacillus catenaformis (Eggerth 1935) Moore and Holdeman 1970 and Lactobacillus vitulinus Sharpe et\u00a0al. 1973 as Eggerthia catenaformis gen.
