Wranglers Top of the news Two deaths the result of 'flesh-eating bacteria' As many as nine people have been treated in Wichita hospitals over the past several days, including some from outside Wichita.
Specialists still say there is no cause for alarm.
One death was the result of Group A streptococcus bacteria, the same bacteria that cause strep throat. The other was the result of a variety of bacterium commonly found in the gastrointestinal system. The numbers aren't exact because the patients are being seen by a number of physicians at a number of hospitals. Gloria Crain buried her brother, Ken Delgado, on Tuesday. He apparently came into contact with the Group A bacterium about two weeks ago, although nobody is sure where.
