Alcaligenes is a type of bacteria commonly found in the environment, and it can enter the body through open wounds or fractures. If the fractured ankle was exposed to contaminated surfaces or not properly cleaned, it could have allowed the bacteria to infect the area. Additionally, if there was a break in the skin, the bacteria could have easily entered through that opening, leading to an infection. Proper wound care and hygiene are crucial to prevent such infections during fractures.
