Anaerobic Anaerobic bacteria are germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen. For example, it can thrive in human tissue that is injured and does not have oxygen-rich blood flowing to it. Infections like tetanus and gangrene are caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic infections typically cause abscesses (buildups of pus), and death of tissue. Many anaerobic bacteria produce enzymes that destroy tissue and, sometimes, potent toxins. Besides bacteria, some protozoans and worms are also anaerobic.

Summit Medical Group Web Site Aspiration pneumonia, also called anaerobic pneumonia, is an infection of the lungs caused by a type of bacteria called anaerobic bacteria. The infection is usually not contagious. The type of bacteria that cause this infection live best in places that have little or no oxygen, such as the mouth and intestine.

- Anaerobic bacteria, or anaerobes, are bacteria that do not need oxygen to live. In humans, these bacteria generally live in the gastrointestinal tract, but they may also be found in other places outside the body, including in the soil and water, in foods, and in animals.

Anaerobic infection Mixed infections caused by numerous aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are often observed in clinical situations. Anaerobic bacteria are a common cause of infections, some of which can be serious and life-threatening.Because anaerobes are the predominant components of the skin's and mucous membranes normal flora, they are a common cause infections of endogenous origin.naerobic bacteria do not grow on solid media in room air (0.04% carbon dioxide and 21% oxygen); facultative anaerobic bacteria can grow in the presence as well as in the absence of air.

Anaerobic bacteria culture Definition. An anaerobic bacteria culture is a method used to grow anaerobes from a clinical specimen. Obligate anaerobes are bacteria that can live only in the absence of oxygen. Obligate anaerobes are destroyed when exposed to the atmosphere for as briefly as 10 minutes.

Anaerobic bacteria do not grow on solid media in room air (0.04% carbon dioxide and 21% oxygen); facultative anaerobic bacteria can grow in the presence as well as in the absence of air.Microaerophilic bacteria do not grow at all aerobically or grow poorly, but grow better under 10% carbon dioxide or anaerobically.naerobic bacteria do not grow on solid media in room air (0.04% carbon dioxide and 21% oxygen); facultative anaerobic bacteria can grow in the presence as well as in the absence of air.

Protozoan infection Protozoan infections are parasitic diseases caused by organisms formerly classified in the Kingdom Protozoa.They include organisms classified in Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata. Examples include Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium (some of which cause malaria), and Giardia lamblia.rotozoan infections are parasitic diseases caused by organisms formerly classified in the Kingdom Protozoa.

Anaerobic Bacteria Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli are the anaerobes most commonly encountered in clinical infections. Pigmented and non-pigmented Prevotella species are, after the B. fragilis group and Gram-positive anaerobic cocci, one of the most commonly encountered group of anaerobic bacteria in human infections.

Anaerobic Respiration in Bacteria Anaerobic bacteria basically mean bacteria that respire anaerobically. All living cells need to respire in order to release energy for vital cell activities. Anaerobic respiration is respiration in the absence of oxygen, hence anaerobic bacteria does not breathe at all.The purpose of respiration is to provide the cell with the appropriate molecules for creating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, ATP Many types of bacteria respire anaerobically.In other words, they can go through the process of respiration without oxygen present.naerobic bacteria basically mean bacteria that respire anaerobically.

Facultative anaerobe In the presence of oxygen, facultative anaerobes use aerobic respiration; without oxygen some of them ferment, some use anaerobic respiration. Some examples of facultative anaerobic bacteria are the Staphylococci (Gram positive), Escherichia coli (Gram negative), Corynebacterium (Gram positive), and Listeria (Gram positive). Organisms in the Kingdom Fungi can also be facultative anaerobic, such as yeasts. Word origin: an- from Gk., not, without, + Greek āero-, from āēr, air. Compare: obligate anaerobe. See also: facultative anaerobe, microaerophile, aerotolerant.

Mixed Anaerobic Infections Key Points. 1  Mixed anaerobic infections occur when the normal commensal relationship among the normal flora of mucosal surfaces (eg, skin, mouth, GI tract, vagina) is disrupted (eg, by surgery, injury, ischemia, or tissue necrosis). 2  Infections tend to occur as localized collections of pus or abscesses.

Bacterial Diseases of Reptiles Most bacterial infections involve gram-negative bacteria, many of which are considered commensal. Anaerobic infections are not uncommon, but organisms can be difficult to culture. Gram-positive bacteria on smears, in conjunction with a negative culture, may indicate an anaerobic infection.

Clinical Clues to Diagnosis of Anaerobic Infections The presence of putrid smell is the most specific clue to an anaerobic infection. The odor is caused by metabolic end-products of the anaerobic organisms, which are mostly organic acids. However, the absence of a foul-smelling discharge does not exclude anaerobic infection, since not all anaerobic bacteria produce it.
