Anaerobes are organisms that cannot use molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor and are killed or inhibited by it. They dominate normal human flora (gut, mouth, genital tract) by a ratio of roughly 1000:1 over aerobes, and most anaerobic infections are endogenous, polymicrobial, and arise when mucosal barriers break. This note focuses on the clinically important non-clostridial (non-spore-forming) anaerobes …
