And yes, they had medical supplies, I believe. They were saving them for Lori's birth. They were also in a prison and knew there was an infirmary (with supplies) somewhere nearby. If it was as simple as an infection (even a super infection), I think they'd bet on finding some antibiotics and cleaning the wound rather than, literally, cutting off his leg to spite his face.
Edit: I've also found out while researching this, that recent research shows that komodo dragons actually are VENOMOUS, not just toxic due to bacteria.

It's an agree to disagree then. Since both sides don't really have any evidence short of waiting for the screenwriters to come out and blatantly say "Zombie bites kill because.....X".
In any event, it's still fun speculating.
