A weaker cousin of the frightening C. difficile, this creature can however wreak havoc when outside of its usual habitat. It secretes powerful toxins that can lead to cellulitis, gas gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis.

Enterococcus fecalis: THB Pestilence Profile

This creature is a fiery colonic demon that can cause infestation in the kidneys, bowels, brain and blood and even the heart valves during protracted engagements. Occasionally, these creatures become resistant to even the mighty Vancomycin, becoming the feared VRE.
