Abstract

SUMMARY

This paper presents the results of the examination of routine clinical specimens for anaerobes and gives details of the revised anaerobic culture techniques recently introduced into this laboratory. The species of anaerobic bacteria isolated from lesions in different sites of the body are described and recommendations are made concerning methods of identification and culture.
