AB Medically  important  infections  caused  by  anaerobic  bacteria  are  common.  The  infections  are  often  polymicrobial—that  is,  the  anaerobic  bacteria  are  found  in  mixed  infections  with  other  anaerobes,  facultative  anaerobes,  and  aerobes  (see  the  glossary  of  definitions).  Anaerobic  bacteria  are  found  throughout  the  human  body—on  the  skin,  on  mucosal  surfaces,  and  in  high  concentrations  in  the  mouth  and  in  gastrointestinal  tract—as  part  of  the  normal  microbiota  (see  Chapter  10).  Infection  results  when  anaerobes  and  other  bacteria  of  the  normal  microbiota  contaminate  normally  sterile  body  sites.
