True about gas gangrene:
Answer: D
Correct answer: Most common organism implicated is Cl. perfringens
C. perfringens accounts for the large majority of gas gangrene. The other statements belong to tetanus or contradict the disease: the overlying skin and muscle are grossly abnormal, with oedema, discoloration, crepitus and frank necrosis; the toxin is alpha toxin, not tetanospasmin; and muscle rigidity and spasm are the picture of tetanus, whereas gas gangrene destroys muscle rather than making it contract.
