    BDS Year 2 8 December 2016: Anaerobic Infections Oral Spirochetes Actinomycosis

    Uploaded by

    Marie Chapman
    This document discusses anaerobic bacteria and infections. It defines anaerobic bacteria as bacteria that are protected against oxygen. Some medically important anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium species, oral spores, Actinomyces, and spirochetes. Clostridium tetani is highlighted as it forms round terminal spores giving the cells a "drumstick" or "tennis racket" appearance under gram stain. The document also reviews predisposing factors, oral anaerobic bacteria of importance, and infections caused by anaerobic gram-negative bacilli, fusobacteria, and spirochetes.

    REVIEW

    Spores
    Clostridium form endospores under adverse
    environmental conditions
    Spores are a survival mechanism
    Spores are characterized on the basis of position, size and
    shape
    Most Clostridium spp., including C. perfringens and C.
    botulinum, have ovoid subterminal (OST) spores
    C. tetani have round terminal (RT) spores
