Extracted text: Case 2 The patient, a 31-year old female is brought in the hospital emergency room complaining of excruciating pain in her right leg, she had difficulty moving. Assessment on her lower leg indicates trauma and the skin is greenish blue. Further examination indicates a crackling sound in her lower leg.

From the emergency room findings, what disease does the patient have and what bacterium is responsible for the infection? 2. What physical conditions of growth should be used when incubating the blood culture? 3.
