SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP) - Health officials in New Brunswick placed a hospital patient in isolation and five others under observation on the weekend after the flesh-eating disease claimed the life of one person.

The steps were taken after the bacterial infection, also known as necrotizing fasciitis, killed an unidentified patient in Saint John on Friday.

The second patient, who has also been diagnosed with the disease, was in listed in serious condition Sunday at the Saint John Regional hospital, according to officials with the Atlantic Health Sciences Corp.

Officials have yet to determine the source of the infection.
