Bacteria that attack and digest dead tissue are called prime decomposers or decomposing bacteria. As digesting as it sounds, decomposing bacteria are a healthy and much needed part of the food web.

What are exoenzymes from pathogens?

Exoenzymes are digestive enzymes that are secreted by the pathogen into the surrounding tissues, allowing the pathogen to further invade the host's tissues. For example, Streptococcus pyogenes secretes streptokinase to dissolve blood clots, allowing wound invasion, and streptolysin, which digests red blood cells and other body cells. Clostridium perfringens, an agent of gangrene, secretes a lipase that damages cell membranes, creating more dead tissue for these bacteria to invade.
