To date, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in anaerobes is highly disarrayed. The
testing is not routinely performed in many laboratories to direct appropriate antimicrobial …

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 …

The local epidemiology of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in anaerobic bacteria is
important in guiding the empiric treatment of infections. However, susceptibility data are very …

Antimicrobial resistance among many pathogenic anaerobic bacteria has increased
significantly over the past two–three decades, paralleling similar trends among …

Antimicrobial resistance in anaerobes has increased during the past two decades; however,
routine susceptibility testing is not performed in many clinical laboratories. Susceptibility …

Materials and Methods A retrospective study to analyse the frequency of isolation of different
anaerobic bacteria, was conducted over a period of five years from 2011 to 2015 including …

Infections from anaerobic microorganisms result from breached mucosal barriers, posing a
significant mortality risk. A retrospective study at Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid) from …

Anaerobic bacteria can cause severe and life threatening infections. Susceptibility data are
relatively limited on anaerobic organisms despite the clinical importance in guiding empiric …

Demand for susceptibility testing of anaerobes has increased, but no consensus on
procedure and interpretation has been achieved. The need for reliable methods for testing …

Anaerobic bacteria play a significant role in many endogenous polymicrobial infections.
Since antimicrobial resistance among anaerobes has increased worldwide, it is useful to …
