It was a flesh eating disease called Necrotizing fasciitis. 2.What features suggest that it is not Clostridium perfringens gangrene? Clostridium pefringens is a gram + rod and the bacteria they found in the patient was a gram + cocci which eliminates clostridium perfingens as a possibly even though some of the symptoms matched gangrene infections.

Tetanus is a neuromuscular disease caused by an anaerobic‚ Gram-positive‚ spore-forming bacillus called Clostridium tetani‚ a species of bacteria of the Clostridium genus‚ that produces a powerful neurotoxin called tetanospasmin The most common first symptom of tetanus is spasms or tightening of the jaw muscles referred to as "lockjaw". Other symptoms include headaches‚ sudden muscle spasms-often in the stomach‚ sweating and fever‚ painful muscle stiffness throughout the body‚ difficulty swallowing

Botulism is a dangerous neuroparalytic illness caused by a botulinum toxin that is a product of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This toxin invades neuromuscular junctions by blocking the release of acetylcholine and results in lack of muscle contraction. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ “There are three main kinds of botulism: foodborne botulism‚ infant botulism‚ and wound botulism. Foodborne botulism occurs when a person ingests the toxin within food that leads to illness
