Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B95) ICD-10-CM
The B95 code range covers streptococcus, staphylococcus, and enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere with 12 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 10 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the B95 range.
Ecthyma
An ulcerative pyoderma usually caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection at the site of minor trauma. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Ecthyma, Contagious
An infectious dermatitis of sheep and goats, affecting primarily the muzzle and lips. It is caused by a poxvirus and may be transmitted to man.
Intertrigo
A superficial dermatitis occurring on skin surfaces in contact with each other, such as the axillae, neck creases, intergluteal fold, between the toes, etc. Obesity is a predisposing factor. The condition is caused by moisture and friction and is characterized by erythema, maceration, burning, and exudation.
Orf virus
The type species of PARAPOXVIRUS which causes a skin infection in natural hosts, usually young sheep. Humans may contract local skin lesions by contact. The virus apparently persists in soil.
Parapoxvirus
A genus of the family POXVIRIDAE, subfamily CHORDOPOXVIRINAE, which infect ungulates and may infect humans. ORF VIRUS is the type species.
About the B95 Code Range
ICD-10 code B95 identifies infections caused by specific bacteria—Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus—that lead to diseases classified elsewhere in medical records. These codes are used to specify the bacterial cause when documenting infections in other conditions.
Each subcode under B95 clarifies the exact bacterial agent involved. For instance, B95.0 relates to Streptococcus group A infections, also known as Streptococcus pyogenes infection, which can cause conditions like cellulitis and pneumonia. B95.1 specifies Group B Streptococcus infections, commonly affecting newborns and mothers. Codes like B95.6, B95.61, and B95.62 distinguish between methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections (including MRSA), important for treatment decisions. The code B95.2 covers Enterococcus infections, which can cause bacteremia and meningitis. Using the ICD-10 code for these bacteria helps medical coders accurately attribute infections to the responsible pathogens, supporting precise diagnosis, reporting, and epidemiologic tracking.
