The fact that most of the human normal flora is composed of anaerobic bacteria suggests that anaerobic infections might be of medical concern. Indeed, anaerobic infections can occur in a variety of body sites and involve many different genera. Most of the normal anaerobic flora are not overtly pathogenic; rather, they are considered to be opportunistic. That is, if given the opportunity, they can inflict serious and occasionally life-threatening disease. These types of infections most often occur due to trauma, injury or surgery. In general, a loss of natural barriers that introduce these bacteria into normally sterile body sites may result in infection. The sites commonly involved in anaerobic infection include the following:
1. intraabdominal infections
2. pulmonary infections
3. pelvic infections
4. brain abscesses
5. skin and soft tissue
6. oral and dental infections
7. bacteremia and endocarditis
Treatment of these infections can sometimes be difficult but, generally, moderate to broad spectrum antibiotics are usually effective

Aerobic and Anaerobic environments.
Aerobic respiration requires diatomic free oxygen. Anaerobic respiration does not require it, and in fact is often hindered by free oxygen.
An organism is described as anaerobic [from the Greek word "an" (opposite) and "aerobio" (air-lived)] if it does not require oxygen in order to survive. Instead, anaerobic organisms use anaerobic respiration to obtain energy from food. Most anaerobic organisms are microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and internal parasites that live in places where there is never much oxygen, such as in the mud at the bottom of a lake or pond, or in the alimentary canal. Anaerobic organisms release much less of the available energy from their food than do aerobic organisms.
It may depend on the brand of blood culture bottles, but there are generally 2 types of bottles drawn on an adult patient; one to culture aerobic organisms and one for anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms. Anaerobic organisms require no oxygen for growth. Facultative means the organism seems to do better under anaerobic conditions. AN for anaerobic...perhaps the F means facultatively.
Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration.
On the basis of oxygen requirement microorganisms are classified asAerobes: organisms that use molecular oxygen as electron acceptor.Anaerobes: organisms that use some molecule other than molecular oxygen as electron acceptor.Facultative organisms : organisms that can use either molecular oxygen or some other chemical compound as electron acceptor.
When oxygen is not available. "anaerobic" means "without oxygen ("aerobic" = oxygen).
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen it is main source of energy in nearly all multicellular organisms and many unicellular animals.
Yes. In more complex organism, in which aerobic respiration is the main process to make ATP, when your body does have enough oxygen it goes though anaerobic respiration. In simpler organisms, which don't require much ATP, anaerobic would be the main process.
Aerobic bacteria uses oxygen for cellular respiration and anaerobic bacteria doesn't require oxygen to survive. ˇ_ˇ 
E. Coli can be but only in oxygen free conditions. Normally it is aerobic.
Aerobic bacteria need oxygen, while anaerobic bacteria do not need oxygen to survive. They both are bacteria and obtain food in one way.
