fastidious
complex nutritional requirements
non-fastidious
simple nutritional requirements
caphnophilic
prefers increased CO2, neisseria species
microaerophilic
prefers reduced O2, helicobacter pylori, campylobacter jejuni
aerotolerant anaerobe
anaerobe that can tolerate O2, clostridium perfringens
facultative anaerobe
aerobe that can grow anaerobically, staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli
strict anaerobe
will not tolerate O2, bacteroides fragilis
strict aerobe
requires O2, pseudomonas aeruginosa
