Gross medical negligence and patient ignorance
Had this wound been irrigated with simple hydrogen peroxide initially, this very probably would never had happened. I never go anywhere without it. Had competent docs. looked at her blood early on this would likely not have happened because anti-biotics would have taken care of it in the early stages. From what I read it isn't only a water hazzard, but occurs in most warm environments - wet and dry. I had a friend that got a similar infection, probably a Staph - in Texas while hunting - from a barbed wire fence scratch. Lost a lot of abdomen skin.

Peroxide
I've heard that with deep cuts your not supposed to use hydrogen peroxide. I think it will kill healthy tissue or something like that....

Hydrogen Peroxide
I have used 3% H2O2 regularly for many years very successfully.
I inhale it and it improved my lung capacity (I am a smoker) substantially
from 70% to 95%, not bad for someone in their 70's
(for inhaling instructions check the net "inhaling H2O2")
for cuts and abrasions and they heal really fast
to clean my ears very effectively with a few drops
I also clean my teeth with H2O2 and Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Powder)
Yes, it might destroy adjacent healthy tissue very very marginally.
However it is so little, if any, that it is not worth worrying about
and I have not noticed any alleged destruction of my gum tissue.
Just one piece of advice: "Don't tell your GP"
He will just think you are insane for not taking an antibiotic or some other
much more expensive pharmaceutical drug with their well known side effects.
They think because it is so cheap it can't possibly be any good.
Oh yes, don't tell your friends either they are likely to have the same mindset.

Dangerous bacteria.
My brother-in-law got a severe infection after sticking himself with a fork while loading the dish washer. He says he could have lost his hand. He said that using hydrogen peroxide would have prevented it.

Treatment of flesh eating bacteria
Here's where the techies could step in and work on an expert system to diagnose and treat at an early stage. Type of injury -- deep cut -- water involved; first aid -- hydrogen peroxide solution, etc. A reader mentioned competent doctors; even incompetent ones could have come up with an acceptable first aid treatment for the injury.

Treatment of Flesh eating bacteria
Hospitals in Japan have used 2.5 pH Electrically Reduced Water (ERW) for years as a disinfectant to clean wounds, 3rd degree burns, the Surgery rooms and equipment and to Prewash before Surgery!
Any Pure water that has been stripped of its hydrogen to the point of being below 2.7 pH is a scientifically recognized Disinfectant. Much research and peer reviewed articles have proven this for over 20 years.
2.5 pH water is readily available. It is not as severe as Hydrogen peroxide. It does not harm new skin, but it kills bacteria, virus, mold, etc within seconds. It also cauterizes the wound and sustains the healing process.
Medical science in America has its collective head up where the sun doesn't shine, because someone else didn't do the thinking and no-one would consider trying to save this girl, just applying the same old solutions that never worked before. going through the motions.
We can understand why doctors won't go to their own hospitals to deal with their own sickness! they go out of the country more often than not.
My Humble opinion, of course

Flesh eating disease.
When I was in Africa I ran into a girl who had a Flesh eating disease all over her right arm, the top of her chest, and half way down her back. I asked the villagers if she had seen a Doctor, and they said yes, she had gone to several Doctors but there was no cure for the disease. I asked what would happen to her? And they said that the disease would soon spread down her chest and eat through her stomach, and her guts would burst open and she would die. I said ???O my God we need to try to do something to help her!???

I had brought some medicine with me from the U.S. in case I got sick in the middle of nowhere. So I gave her some ???Bactrin??? which is an anti-biotic similar to Penicillin, and a bar of Ivory Soap. I told her that the Bactrin would help fight the disease on the inside, while the Soap would fight the disease on the outside.

I explained to her that there were little tinny bugs inside the scabby disease that were eating through her skin, and that she needed to try to soak off in water as much of the scabby disease as possible. Then put a little bit of water on top of the bar of Ivory Soap and rub it to make a paste, and dab the paste on the raw open wounds. I told her that it would burn like hell for a minute or so, but then it would start to feel much better. I told her to leave the soap on the wounds all the time to keep them from getting infected, and to wash it off and apply new soap twice a day.

I had to leave to work on a dam project, but 8 weeks later I returned to her village and it had killed the disease. You could see the new skin on her back and there was no ugly scaring or discoloration of skin.
