Necrotizing fasciitis can be caused by multiple bacterias. The most common of them is called Staphylococcus aureus and it is really deadly, because this particular type is resistant to most medicines available.

All I know is we need to wash our hands before eating some food. The polio type virus can enter our system if not going to do the simple hygienic way. It happened that some countries had an outbreak because of this. Another cause is they do not have polio vaccines to children.

The term "flesh-eating disease" usually refers to a condition called necrotizing fasciitis, which is a severe bacterial infection of the soft tissues. This condition is typically not caused by fecal bacteria. Instead, it is most commonly caused by a group of bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus) and sometimes Staphylococcus aureus. 

These bacteria can enter the body through breaks in the skin, surgical wounds, or other openings. They release toxins and enzymes that damage and destroy skin, muscle, and other soft tissues, leading to a rapid and severe infection.

It's important to note that fecal bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), are typically associated with gastrointestinal infections and may cause symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain. They are not the primary culprits in necrotizing fasciitis.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention. Treatment usually involves intravenous antibiotics and, in severe cases, surgical removal of infected tissue to stop the spread of the infection. If you suspect someone has symptoms of this condition, seek medical help without delay.
