Non-Clostridial Gas-Forming Infections in Diabetic Patients

Abstract: Mitwalli, Non-Clostridial Gas-Forming Infections in Diabetic Patients. 1995; 15(1): 71-73 The ability of microorganisms to produce gas in infected tissue has long been recognized. Although this was originally linked to Clostridium perferingens and other clostridial species, 1 subsequent reports indicated that other bacteria including facultative coliforms, staphylococci, streptococci and other anaerobes are capable of causing gasforming infections.2,3 These infections range from mild disease with no gangre… Show more

“…Surgical methods could be performed by removing pus using incision and drainage, [ 5 , 7 ] or by debriding necrotic tissue extensively, followed by fusion and instrumentation if necessary.
