Gas Gangrene (Clostridial Myonecrosis), Clostridial Myositis And HBOT Treatment

Gas gangrene infection is severe and can advance quickly. Besides replicating and migrating, the organisms which cause gas gangrene produce poisons known as exotoxins. Exotoxins are capable of liquefying adjacent tissue and inhibiting local defense mechanisms which might normally contain a less virulent infection. As such, the advancing infection of gangrene may simply destroy healthy tissue in its path and spread over the course of hours.
