Anaerobic bacteria can cause various infectious complications, leading to severe outcomes and mortality in patients. Problems associated with the microbiological diagnosis of obligate anaerobic bacteria and determination of sensitivity to antibiotics direct doctors to prescribe broad-spectrum drugs in the treatment of anaerobic infections, which leads to an increase in resistance among anaerobes throughout the world. This article discusses modern methods for determining the sensitivity of anaerobes to antibacterial drugs. The authors note that the development of “fast” laboratory testing methods with the introduction of new technologies and the development of test systems for the detection of anaerobic bacteria and resistance genes is a priority and promising direction.

Keywords:

anaerobic bacteria
resistance genes
antibiotic resistance
PCR
