Neglected in diagnostic labs- but they
outnumber the aerobic bacteria including
most sites of human and animal body.
Mouth and skin -10-30 times more frequent
than aerobic bacteria.
The numbers of anaerobes have been
estimated to be 10 4-10 5/ml in small
intestine,10 8/ml in saliva and 10 11/g in the
colon



Earlier-coloney morphology,biochemical
reactions and antibiotic sensitivity pattern.
Current classification-based on DNA base
composition and analysis of fatty acids, end
products of metabolism


Aerobes and facultative anaerobes have
metabolic systems listed below, whereas
anaerobic bacteria do not
▪ Cytochrome system of metabolism of oxygen.
▪ Superoxide dismutase, which catalyses the following
reaction:
▪ O-2+O-2----H2O2+O2
▪ Catalase, which catalyses the following reaction.
▪ 2H2O2----2H2O+O2 (gas bubbles).
Anaerobic bacteria do not have cytochrome
systems for metabolism.
 Less fastidious anaerobes have low levels of
superoxide dismutase and may not have
catalase.
 Obligate anaerobes usually lack superoxide
dismutase and catalase and are susceptible to
lethal effects of oxygen radicals.
 Most human infections are caused by
moderately obligate anaerobes.
 Ability to tolerate oxygen varies from species to
species.

thetaiotamicron and others.
Contamination by contents of colon where
they may cause suppuration-perotinitis
Constitutes less than 10% of Bacteroides species
in the normal colon, however, is the most
common isolate of anaerobes.
Major virulence factor: capsular
polysaccharides, which may cause abscess
formation when injected into the rat abdomen.
Resistant to penicillin.

Classification is based on colonial and
biochemical features and characteristic short
chain fatty acid patterns in gas liquid
chromatography.
Associated with anaerobic coccipeptostreptococci and others.

GNB-slender rods and cocobacilli
Common-P.melaninogenica.
Found in lung and brain abscess,in empyema
and in pelvic inflammatory diseases,and
tuboverian abscess.
Often polymicrobial –
peptostreptococci,anaerobic gram positive
rods and fusobacterium species.
Black colonies produced by this.
Colonies show-red fluorescence in UV rays
