Anaerobic cocci are not involved in any single specific disease process; rather, they may be present in a great variety of infections involving all areas of the human body (Fig.
Not all anaerobic cocci require stringent anaerobic conditions; for example, strains of Streptococcus intermedius are quite aerotolerant and may grow under reduced oxygen tension.
The anaerobic cocci are a physiologically diverse group that has recently undergone significant taxonomic changes.

Organisms that live in environments without oxygen, such as anaerobic fungi and protozoa (a type of protist), don’t use mitochondria at all —- instead their power is generated by hydrogenosomes, organelles that, while similar in many ways to mitochondria, follow a different metabolic pathway.
While mitochondria need oxygen to produce energy, hydrogenosomes produce energy under anoxic conditions.
But not all eukaryotes rely on mitochondria for their energy.

Clostridium tetani is an anaerobic organism that produces a potent neuromuscular toxin that cause persistent muscle contractions (spasms, including opithotonos) or "tetany" - hence the nicknames "tetanus" and "lockjaw".
The classic "rusty nail" is a source of the living organism, that then causes a potentially fatal infection.

Therefore, oxygen is crucial to the organism's survival.
These are necessary biological processes because they generate the energy needed to maintain order in the organism.
Instead they must resort to fermentation (also used by anaerobes), an alternative way to oxidize NADH and FADH2 in which a compound other than oxygen is reduced so that the limited number of NAD+ and FAD molecules may be reused in Glycolysis.
