anaerobic bacteria are well known causes of sepsis in adults but there are few studies regarding their role in neonatal sepsis. in an attempt to define the incidence of neonatal anaerobic infections a prospective study was performed during one year period. a total number of 400 neonates under sepsis study were entered this investigation. anaerobic as well as aerobic cultures were sent. the pati...

background: to determine prospectively the prevalence of anaerobic and aerobic infection in early onset (during 72 hours of age) neonatal sepsis, in tehran vali-e-asr hospital. methods: among all the live birth, neonates suspecting of having septicemia were investigated for isolation of micro­organisms. culture bottle containing enriched tryptic soy broth was used for standard blood culture sys...

The Oxyrase OxyPlate anaerobe incubation system was evaluated for its ability to support the growth of clinically significant anaerobic bacteria previously identified by the Anaerobe Reference Laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The results were compared with those obtained with conventional anaerobe blood agar plates incubated in an anaerobe chamber. We tested 251 ana...

Although up to about half the cases of acute non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) are caused by Chlamydia trachomatis organisms (chlamydiae) and a smaller, ill-defined, proportion probably by Ureaplasma urealyticum organisms (ureaplasmas), the aetiology of all cases is not understood. Clarification of the role of the anaerobe, Bacteroides ureolyticus, was sought in the current study. Seventy five ch...

Background. IDSA/ATS guidelines state that anaerobic coverage is indicated only for aspiration pneumonia in patients with a history of loss of consciousness as a result of alcohol/drug overdose or after seizures in patients with concomitant gingival disease or esophageal motility disorders. Despite this, clinicians often add anaerobic coverage in patients without these risk factors. Given the p...
