This paper aim is to emphasize the severity of soft tissue nosocomial infections, determined by anaerobic bacteria associated with Gram-negative aerobic bacteria: 50% mortality, higher economic costs, disabling morphologic and functional sequels. We present the pathogenic, clinical and therapeutically problems which characterize this type of postoperative infections.
