A gangrena gasosa ou mionecrose clostridial é uma infecção necrosante rapidamente progressiva, potencialmente fatal, de músculo e tecido mole, resultante da invasão bacteriana de músculo saudável adjacente a músculo ou tecido mole traumatizado. A infecção se origina em uma ferida contaminada com bactérias do gênero Clostridium. C. perfringens é responsável pela maioria dos casos (mais de oitenta por cento), enquanto C. noyvi, C. septicum e C. histolyticum causam a maioria dos outros casos. | |||
