Oxygen requirement classification
  1. Aerobes
    1. 1. Obligate aerobes
      1. need oxygen to grow. In a process known as cellular respiration, these organisms use oxygen to oxidize substrates (for example sugars and fats) and generate energy.
        1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis Nocardia asteroides.
        2. 4. Microaerophiles
          1. require oxygen for energy production, but are harmed by atmospheric concentrations of oxygen (21% O2).
            1. Campylobacter jejuni Helicobacter pylori,
          2. Anaerobic
            1. 3. Facultative anaerobes
              1. capable of growing in the absence of oxygen. Their energy comes from fermentation. But if oxygen is present they WILL derive their energy by aerobic respiration.
                1. Staphylococcus aureus
                2. 2. Obligate anaerobes
                  1. Cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. Some obligate anaerobes are even harmed by oxygen.
                    1. Clostridium perfringens
                    2. 5. Aerotolerant bacteria
                      1. do not need oxygen to grow, but can survive in its presence.
                        1. Clostridium intestinale
