Anaerobic Bacteria Count

Bacteria species are divided into aerobic and anaerobic according to their oxygen requirements or their relationship with oxygen. While aerobic bacteria respiration in the presence of 21% O2, which we call the full oxygen concentration, anaerobic bacteria cannot breathe with oxygen.

Anaerobic bacteria are bacteria that cannot survive or reproduce in the presence of oxygen. The difference in the oxygen requirements of microorganisms causes the differentiation of culture techniques. In anaerobic bacteria, oxygen must be removed from the culture medium.

Anaerobic bacteria are divided into 3 groups;

• Mandatory Anaerobic Bacteria
• Aerotolerant Anaerobic Bacteria
• Facultative Anaerobic Bacteria

Anaerobic bacteria are found in the normal bacterial flora of humans and animals. Anaerobic bacteria can grow most on the skin, causing skin irritation, abscess formation, and pus. It is important to look for anaerobic bacteria, especially in products applied to the skin, such as food, feed or cosmetics.
