Abstract:
Anaerobic bacteria are commonly classified as a distinct group of microorganisms capable of proliferation solely in environments with reduced oxygen tension,and are incapable of growth on the surface of solid media containing atmospheric air(equivalent to 18％oxygen)and/or 10％carbon dioxide.These bacteria have the potential to infiltrate the central nervous system via adjacent infections in the head and neck region,hematogenous dissemination,or cranial-cerebral trauma,leading to localized purulent infections,such as intracranial abscesses,which include cerebral abscesses,epidural abscesses,and subdural abscesses.Although meningitis caused by anaerobic bacteria is relatively rare,it remains a significant clinical concern.The present study comprehensively discusses the surgical interventions for central nervous system infections due to anaerobic bacteria,as well as the strategic selection and utilization of antibiotics and alternative therapeutic modalities.
