Cell Clostridium Perfringens Gas Gangrene  Tight Junction Kills

Gas gangrene is caused by Clostridium Perfringens that enters tight junctions and kills cells, excreting toxins, with amputation being the best option when muscle tissue is infected.

Η αερόβια γάγγραινα προκαλείται από Clostridium Perfringens που εισέρχεται στους στενούς συνδέσμους και σκοτώνει τα κύτταρα, χάνοντας τοξίνες, ενώ η ακρωτηριασμός είναι η καλύτερη επιλογή όταν μολύνεται ο μυϊκός ιστός.

- Gets into muscle tissue which is extremely bad
