Gas gangrene can be prevented by always monitoring the blood glucose levels and maintaining them within the normal range, and regular foot inspection, especially in those patients with diabetes. Post-exposure prophylaxis may be needed by immunocompromised individuals if they were in close contact with patients with necrotizing infection due to Group A streptococcus.  Droplet and contact precautions are warranted to these susceptible individuals.
