Humans are aerobic organisms if so why do you worry about being infected by an anaerobic organism?

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 http://www.cehs.siu.edu/fix/medmicro/anaer.htm

The type of bacterium most likely to be found in a swamp is?

Anaerobic bacteria, such as Clostridium and Bacteroides, are commonly found in swamps due to the low oxygen levels and high organic content of the environment. These bacteria thrive in the anaerobic conditions present in swamps, where they play important roles in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients.


Which organisim is most likely to use Anaerobic respiration a bird moss a tree or yeast?

Yeast is most likely to use anaerobic respiration. This is because yeast is a single-celled microorganism that can switch to anaerobic respiration when oxygen is not available. Birds, moss, and trees are larger, multicellular organisms that largely rely on aerobic respiration for energy production.
