Because of the declining incidence of anaerobic bacteremia, the predictable sites of
anaerobic infection and the increasing importance of aerobic isolates (eg; yeasts), the …

To our knowledge, the effects of the use of improved anaerobic techniques have not been
documented. We compared data on patients during 2 different time periods—the first when …

Clinical and microbiologic data of 296 patients with anaerobic bacteremia were reviewed.
Anaerobes were isolated with aerobic or facultative bacteremia in 23 instances. The …

Introduction A lack of updated data on the burden and profile of anaerobic bloodstream
infections (ABIs) exists. We assessed the incidence of ABIs and trends in antimicrobial …

Background Obligate anaerobes usually account for less than 10% of bacteria recovered
from blood cultures (BC). The relevance of routine use of the anaerobic bottle is under …

In the present study the susceptibility of 200 blood culture isolates of anaerobic bacteria to
benzylpenicillin, clindamycin, metronidazole, imipenem and piperacillin‐tazobactam was …

We reviewed 402 hospital admissions of patients with acute leukemia to define the
frequency and characteristics of anaerobic bacteremia in this patient population. Six (5.2%) …

Anaerobic bacteria that cause infections contribute to patient morbidity and mortality,
especially among patients with underlying conditions or who are immunocompromised …

Background There has been increased interest in the study of anaerobic bacteria that cause
human infection during the past decade. Many new genera and species have been …

Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene represents a highly accurate and versatile method
for bacterial classification and identification, even when the species in question is …
