“There are many kinds of bacteria that can lead to necrotizing fasciitis such as Streptococccus pyogenes, staphylococcus aureus, bacteroides fragilis, aermonas hydrophila, etc. Most cases of flesh eating bacteria disease is polymicrobial with approx 15% cases belonging to Type II class of diseases. People with weak immune system are more likely to suffer from such infections.”

“It is better to treat the condition at earliest which is usually presumptive. Antibiotic treatment is often suggested initially which are given intravenously and in combination. These medicines may include piperacilling, vancomycin as well as clindamycin.”
