They are anaerobic organisms and cannot function under aerobic conditions.

These drugs are selectively toxic to anaerobic organisms, but can affect human cells.

The mitosome has been detected only in anaerobic or microaerophilic organisms that do not have mitochondria.

An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth.

Ciprofloxacin or cefotaxime, together with metronidazole to cover anaerobic organisms are current alternatives.

This creates an ideal environment for the proliferation of anaerobic organisms.

Anaerobic usually means the same thing: an anaerobic organism is one which does not need oxygen.

A. xylanus is a facultative anaerobic organism which can grow in several different environments.

An anaerobic organism is any living thing that does not need oxygen for growth.

However, metronidazole is selective for anaerobic organisms, and so it is effective against many (though not all) of these pathogens.
