Answer 3

I've never heard of a "flesh eating virus". Perhaps you mean a "flesh eating bacterium". This organism causes a disorder referred to as "necrotizing fasciitis".

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare bacterial infection that can destroy skin and the soft tissues beneath it, including fat and the tissue covering the muscles (fascia). Because these tissues often die rapidly, a person with necrotizing fasciitis is sometimes said to be infected with "flesh-eating" bacteria, especially Streptococcus pyogenes.

Necrotizing fasciitis is very rare but serious. Around 30% of those who develop necrotizing fasciitis die from the disease.

Thus, one organism that is a "flesh-eating bacterium" is Streptococcus pyogenes.
