Question
Transcribed Image Text:The agent of gas gangrene is classified as an
based on its oxygen
sensitivity so in addition to antibiotics and debrideent, hyperbaric oxygen is commonly
used in the treatment of gas gangrene. This organism can persist in the outside
environment under extreme harsh conditions which include the presence of high levels of
atmospheric oxygen because it is able to form an
(seen as the absence
of color in the Gram stain) which will germinate when introduced into environments such
as deep muscle tissue with minimal levels of oxygen, lots of water, and lots of nutrients.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Gas gangrene is a bacterial infection that produces tissue gas in gangrene. Bacteria gather in an injury or surgical wound that has no blood supply. The bacterial infection produces toxins that release gas and cause tissue death.
