General scheme of the events triggered by C. perfringens alpha-toxin during gas gangrene. The pleiotropic effects of C. perfringens alpha-toxin in diverse cell types contribute to reducing vascular perfusion and causing tissue damage, which enhance the conditions for bacterial growth and lead to shock and multiple organ failure.
