This review provides a brief overview of skin bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. These infections are less common and can have a rich clinical picture and differential diagnosis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is among the most common skin infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. Among other infections, we can mention manifestations in severe acute, but also chronic, meningococcal infections, or skin lesions caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae.

Keywords: gram-negative infections, pseudomonad infections, meningococcal infections, cat-scratch disease, tularemia.
