Many types of bacteria can cause necrotizing fasciitis, to include: Group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Peptostreptococcus and Aeromonas hydrophila. Often different kinds of bacteria will support each others’ spread.
The major drug resistant bacteria list now includes:
Acinetobacter
Anthrax
Campylobacter
E. Coli
Gonorrhea
Group B streptococcus
Klebsiella pneumoniae
MRSA
MRSA Strain USA300-FPR3757 (flesh eating)
Neisseria meningitidis
Salmonella, non-typhoidal serotypes
Shigella
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Typhoid Fever
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE)
Vancomycin-Intermediate/Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VISA/VRSA)

Just curious——what do those initials mean after tuberculosis?
I didn’t know there were so many types.
