Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe infection caused by Group A strep bacteria that can lead to tissue death and destruction, earning the nickname "flesh-eating bacteria." Gangrene is a condition that occurs when tissue dies due to reduced blood flow, often caused by bacterial infections. Putrefaction is the decomposition of organic matter, and pyoderma is a skin infection caused by bacterial organisms. None of these conditions are specifically caused by Group A strep bacteria.
