Pretty much guaranteed urban legend. There are all kinds of bacteria everywhere, and there is absolutely no way for someone to prove that a certain bacteria is linked with decaying human flesh. There is no way something like that can be upheld in a court of law to justify a search warrant.

Medically and biologically, it just does not make sense.

It is in fact possible to contract diseases from rotting flesh. These diseases are similar to things you would contract from eating rotting meat of any kind. I have heard this story also, a fairly long time ago and it was presented to me as being true. However I was much young and not as much of a natural skeptic as I am now. It fails a simple Google test, with nothing surprisingly substantial appearing on the first five pages or so. It leads me to believe it probably is a derivation and hyperbole of a true case, exaggerated through the oral story telling tradition.
