A pathogenic bacteria ferments for survival in your
patient producing a swollen, dark discolored leg due
to muscles degradation and gas-filled distension on
the skin. Treatment includes pressurized hyperbaric
oxygen. Which of the following apply?

aquired pneumonia.
Klebsiella pneumoniae causing cellular degradation
in pulmonary tissues
