The role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of disease remains controversial. <b><i>Materials and Methods:<\/i><\/b> Specimens were obtained from 22 HS patients by direct percutaneous needle aspiration. The collected material was cultured in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and sensitivity tests were performed. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> Of the 22 patients, 32% were culture negative and 68% were culture positive. A total of 16 isolates was obtained, 14 aerobic and 2 anaerobic. Aerobic bacteria were present in 86% of the specimens, whereas only anaerobic bacteria were isolated in 7%. The predominant aerobic species were <i>Proteus mirabilis<\/i>, <i>Staphylococcus haemolyticus<\/i> and <i>Staphylococcus lugdunensis<\/i>. The isolated anaerobic bacteria were <i>Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis<\/i> and <i>Propionibacterium<\/i><i>granulosum<\/i>. <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> A variety of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria was isolated from the HS lesions of our patients. In contrast to previous studies, fewer patients were found to be culture positive, and <i>Staphylococcus aureus <\/i>was isolated in only 1 of them. More studies are necessary to elucidate the controversial role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of
