Question

multiple choice question
from which body site could a facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogen be isolated?
o deep wound
o surface of skin
o intestine
o any of these

Explanation:

Facultative anaerobic bacteria can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. The intestine has areas with low oxygen (anaerobic conditions), deep wounds can also create anaerobic micro - environments (especially if they are contaminated and tissue death occurs, reducing oxygen availability), and the surface of the skin (although more aerobic) can have micro - niches or in cases of skin infections with mixed flora (where facultative anaerobes can co - exist with aerobes).

Answer:

D. Any of these
