Abstract

Anaerobes are part of our common flora, meanly of the oral cavity mucous, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. The anaerobic infections occur as a result of the rupture of the mucosal barrier, causing the contamination of the sterile area and producing mainly polimicrobian abscesses, bacteraemia, infection of skin, head and neck and female genitals. Anaerobic bacteria can be classified as non-spores forming, with the Bacteroid genus, and the frequent isolated species Bacteroids fragilis, as the most important. The other group is that of the spore-forming anaerobes, with an unique human pathogenic genus, Clostridium spp. In terms of diagnosis, the routine use of MALDI-TOF has led to a shortening of time and a cost reduction in the identification. Anaerobes have increased their resistance to antimicrobial agents, and the emergence of resistance to carbapenems and metronidazole and multi-resistance is a current reality.
