Symptoms of anaerobic infection

summary

Anaerobic bacteria are a kind of bacteria that grow better in anaerobic condition than in aerobic environment, but cannot grow on the surface of solid medium with air (18% oxygen) and (or) 10% carbon dioxide concentration. These bacteria lack a complete metabolic enzyme system, and their energy metabolism is carried out by anaerobic fermentation. Have the symptom of anaerobe infection? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of anaerobic infection

Focal suppurative infections, such as brain abscess and subdural empyema, are often associated with anaerobes. On the contrary, epidural empyema and meningitis caused by anaerobes are rare. Common upper respiratory tract infection and thoracic infection, and can cause pneumonia, lung abscess, necrotizing pneumonia and other diseases.

There are a lot of anaerobic bacteria in the normal intestinal tract, and abdominal infection is often related to intestinal flora pollution, so it has the characteristics of high isolation rate of anaerobic bacteria, and often mixed infection of a variety of bacteria. And can cause liver abscess, biliary tract infection, appendicitis, intestinal infection.

Almost all of the female genital tract infections caused by non sexual transmission include anaerobic bacteria. The common pathogenic bacteria include peptic Streptococcus, Prevotella (especially two-way Prevotella and peptone Prevotella), Beauveria and Clostridium (including Clostridium perfringens).

matters needing attention

Timely treatment of infection so that it is limited to a specific site before spread can prevent serious anaerobic infection. Careful cleaning of the wound, removal of foreign bodies and early initiation of antibiotic treatment are effective preventive measures. Intravenous antibiotics are used to prevent infection before, after and during abdominal surgery.
