(1) In aerobes with sufficient oxygen, pyruvate is transported to the mitochondrion to undergo further transformations in the Krebs cycle.(2) Some strains of lactic acid bacteria are tolerant to salt, enabling them to survive additional salt while the growth of salt-sensitive aerobes is inhibited.(3) Antibiotics must cover both aerobes and anaerobes.(4) Mixed organisms, both aerobes and anaerobes, have been cultured from dog bite wounds.(5) By contrast, only 1 or 2 types of Gram-positive organisms are generally cultured in osteomyelitis, almost universally aerobes .(6) Foot infections in diabetic patients are commonly polymicrobial and may involve aerobes and anaerobes.(7) These bacteria are all facultative aerobes , meaning that they are oxygen tolerant.(8) Bacteria most frequently cultured in this setting include anaerobes such as Clostridium species, and aerobes such as E. coli.
