 | | Bacteria are the most nutritionally diverse of all organisms, which is to say, as a group, they can eat nearly anything. | | | The most important organisms in the breakdown process are the bacteria. | | | Some decomposition occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions); however, the process is slow, and foul odors may develop. |

| | To determine if any of these cultures were indeed comprised of anaerobic bacteria, they were each cultivated under anaerobic conditions and aerobic conditions and their growth under each of these conditions was compared. | | | Because of the equipment available for study, it is my goal to isolate an aerotolerant obligate anaerobe for this project. | | | Figure 2 - The gridded anaerobic agar plateincubated under anaerobic conditions showed bacterial growth in the top grid square located second from the right. |

| | The literature on anaerobic digestion is replete with information on the microbiology and biochemistry, environmental factors, biodegradability, kinetics, and health aspects of the anaerobic digestion process. | | | Methane fermentation is an important natural process that is responsible for the overall decomposition of natural organic materials residing in anaerobic environments. | | | During the 1950s two developments were of particular significance: one was the use of mixing in digesters and the other was the development of the anaerobic contact process. |

| | Susceptibility Testing, Anaerobic Bacteria |
| | Many anaerobes grow so slowly that by the time isolation and susceptibility testing is completed (6-14 days), the results are of little clinical value. | | | Susceptibility testing of anaerobes is usually done on individual patient isolates when the infection does not respond to empiric therapy. | | | Infections involving anaerobes frequently contain mixed flora and appropriate drainage rather than antimicrobial therapy seems to be the most crucial factor in the successful treatment of these infections. |

| | Anaerobic Bacteria |
| | Susceptibility to antibiotics is often predictable, so that in clinical practice, most anaerobes are not tested for antibiotic sensitivity. | | | The facultative organisms in the infection use up the oxygen in the area. This allows the anaerobes to proliferate. | | | Anaerobic infection causes the formation of purulent abscesses. There is tissue breakdown, invasion by PMNs, and finally, the abscess is walled off. However, in the damaged and poorly oxygenated abscess tissue, the phagocytes are not able to eliminate the anaerobes. For this reason, abscesses usually have to be drained. |

| | Anaerobic bacteria |
| | The fact that most of the human normal flora is composed of anaerobic bacteria suggests that anaerobic infections might be of medical concern. | | | The sensitivity of anaerobes to oxygen may be due to several factors, including the genetic inability to make enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase or various peroxidases. | | | Indeed, anaerobic infections can occur in a variety of body sites and involve many different genera. |

| | Re: What is there to know about anaerobic bacteria? |
| | Anaerobes (literally meaning "without air") are organisms that do not use oxygen to live. | | | If the anaerobe can tolerate oxygen even though it does not use oxygen, it is an aerotolerant anaerobe. | | | Anaerobic organisms use different molecules as electron acceptors, such as sulfide or carbon dioxide. |

| | After metronidazole therapy, symptoms and signs of nonspecific vaginitis cleared, butyrate and propionate disappeared, and lactate and lactate-producing organisms became predominant. | | | We conclude that certain anaerobes act with G. vaginalis as causes of nonspecific vaginitis, and that a high ratio of succinate to lactate in vaginal fluid is a useful indicator in the diagnosis of this condition. | | | To study the cause of nonspecific vaginitis, we analyzed vaginal fluid from normal women and from 53 women with nonspecific vaginitis, using quantitative anaerobic cultures and gas-liquid chromatography for short-chained organic-acid metabolites of the microbial flora. |
