The Microbes That Cause Flesh-Eating Disease And How Deadly They Are

 This infographic from NYRequirements breaks down the harmful microbes that can cause Necrotizing Fasciitis, or Flesh-Eating Disease. It provides a detailed description of each microbe, including how common they are, how they enter the body, and how dangerous they are. Staphylococcus aureus, for example, is a gram-positive bacterium that is the second most common cause of necrotizing fasciitis. It is commonly found in the nose and on the skin. People can get staph if they have recently had a hospital operation. Staphylococcus aureus can cause boils, food poisoning, and, in its most lethal form, MRSA, which if left untreated can quickly progress to flesh-eating disease.
