Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) include necrotizing forms of fasciitis, myositis, and cellulitis [1-3]. These infections are characterized clinically by fulminant tissue destruction, systemic signs of toxicity, and high mortality.
The bacteria that cause necrotizing soft tissue infections are usually introduced when a small cut or scrape becomes contaminated with soil or saliva so anyone can be infected. Those at greater risk are those with an open wound, even a small cut, especially if it has been in contact with dirt or bacteria in the mouth.

About the size of a walnut, the submandibular glands are located below the jaw. The saliva produced in these glands is secreted into the mouth from under the tongue. Like the parotid glands, the submandibular glands have two parts called the superficial lobe and the deep lobe.
