Finegoldia is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria. They are anaerobic cocci of the class Clostridia, with Finegoldia magna being the type species. F. magna was formerly known, along with several other Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPACs), as Peptostreptococcus magnus, but was moved into its own genus in 1999. The name is in honor of Sydney M. Finegold, an American microbiologist, while magna is Latin for large. It is an opportunistic human pathogen that normally colonizes skin and mucous membranes. It is often seen in biofilms on chronic ulcers such as in diabetic foot or decubitus ulcers. Most surveys have found it to be susceptible to penicillins, carbapenems and metronidazole, though resistant strains have been identified. Resistance to clindamycin is common and has been seen in over 10%

| - Finegoldia is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria. They are anaerobic cocci of the class Clostridia, with Finegoldia magna being the type species. F. magna was formerly known, along with several other Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPACs), as Peptostreptococcus magnus, but was moved into its own genus in 1999. The name is in honor of Sydney M. Finegold, an American microbiologist, while magna is Latin for large. It is an opportunistic human pathogen that normally colonizes skin and mucous membranes. It is often seen in biofilms on chronic ulcers such as in diabetic foot or decubitus ulcers. Most surveys have found it to be susceptible to penicillins, carbapenems and metronidazole, though resistant strains have been identified. Resistance to clindamycin is common and has been seen in over 10% of isolates in the US. One review stated that "the combination of diminished antimicrobial susceptibility, its prevalence, and the described virulence factors gives F. magna a special position among the GPAC." (en)
- Finegoldia es un género de bacterias grampositivas. Son cocos anaeróbicos de la clase Clostridia, siendo F. magna la especie tipo. Finegoldia magna fue conocida anteriormente, junto con otros cocos anaeróbicos Gram-positivos (GPACs) cómo Peptostreptococcus magnus, pero fue trasladado a su propio género en 1999. El nombre es en honor a Sydney M. Finegold, un microbiólogo estadounidense, mientras que magna es en latín para grande. Es un patógeno humano oportunista que normalmente coloniza la piel y las membranas mucosas. A menudo se observa en biopelículas en las úlceras crónicas como en el pie diabético o en las úlceras de decúbito. La mayoría de los estudios han demostrado que es susceptible a la penicilina, los carbapenemas y el metronidazol, aunque se han identificado cepas restantes. La resistencia a la clindamicina es común y se ha observado en más del 10% de las cepas en los Estados Unidos. Una revisión indicó que la combinación de la disminución de la susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos, su prevalencia, y los factores de virulencia descritos por F. magna le dan una posición especial entre los GPAC.
