RESUMO
The Oxoid AnaeroGen system was compared with the BBL GasPak for the production of an anaerobic atmosphere and was evaluated for its ability to support the growth of 135 clinically significant anaerobic bacteria. An anaerobe chamber was used as the "gold standard" for supporting the growth of anaerobes. The AnaeroGen requires no catalyst, produces no hydrogen, requires no water, and reduces preparation time to a minimum. The water-activated BBL GasPak generates hydrogen. For 132 of the 135 strains tested, better initial growth at 48 h was noted for the jar methods than for the anaerobe chamber. At 72 h, 113 of the 135 strains showed equal growth, and at 7 days, only marginal differences in growth patterns were noted. The AnaeroGen never failed to reduce the anaerobic indicator, while the BBL GasPak occasionally failed to do so. The AnaeroGen performed at least as well as, and sometimes better than, the established methods. The AnaeroGen is a good alternative for use in anaerobic jars.
