Anaerobic Bacteria Count

Features, Types, Harm of Anaerobic Bacteria in Foods ...

All bacterial species are divided into aerobic and anaerobic according to 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 lose their viability or cannot reproduce in the presence of oxygen. In anaerobic bacteria, the 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 occur naturally in the bacterial flora of humans and animals.

Anaerobic bacteria are analyzed in products such as food, feed or cosmetics. Anaerobic bacteria thrive best on the skin and can cause skin irritation, abscess formation, and pus.
