title: Anaerobic culture in podiatric practice.
abstract: Although few podiatric infections are anaerobic, it is important to isolate, identify, and test all of the various types of bacteria for sensitivity. Dr. Lantor did not write this synopsis to analyze the procedures mentioned, but to outline some of the signs and symptoms associated with anaerobic growths and to make foot surgeons aware of the need for anaerobic culture techniques.
