Question 1

Aerotolerance is a procedure done to confirm that an isolate is an anaerobe. It is best described as:

Answer 1

single colony from an anaerobically incubated primary plate is subbed to a BRUC/ANO2, a CHOC/CO2, and a colony smear is performed. Plates incubated examined after 48hrs.

Question 2

Prior to the 1960’s, exogenous infections caused by Clostridium species were the most prevalent anaerobic infections

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Can’t reproduce if the oxygen level is over 0.5%

Answer 3

Strict anaerobes

Question 4

Grow well on Bruc in anaerobic conditions and on CHOC in CO

Answer 4

Aerotolerant anaerobe
