Bacterial overgrowth syndrome is a malabsorption disorder. Under normal conditions, the proximal small bowel contains < 105 bacteria/mL, mainly gram-positive aerobic bacteria. This low bacterial count is maintained by normal peristalsis, normal gastric acid secretion, mucus, secretory IgA, and an intact ileocecal valve.
Flesh-eating disease, also called flesh-eating bacteria syndrome is a bacterial infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. There is a range of bacteria which can cause flesh-eating disease: Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio vulnificus, Clostridium perfringens and many others. The most common is Streptococcus A â â the same bacteria that causes strep throat. Flesh-eating bacteria do not actually âeatâ the flesh, but release a range of toxins and cause complete system shock, known as toxic shock syndrome. While very virulent and deadly, most of bacteria respond to the treatment with antibiotics.
