Rôle des bactéries anaérobies en clinique humaine

The advent of high throughput sequencing and development of bioinformatic ana-lyzes has highlighted the major and complex rôle of anaerobes within the human microbiota. The growing knowledge of the rôle of these bacteria in serious infections in humans requires more and more efficient microbiology laboratories for clinico-microbiological diagnosis of these pathogens. Many studies highlight the major rôle of anaerobic bacteria in the protection or promotion of chronic diseases such as cancer, inflammatory or metabolic diseases. To date, we are only at the beginning of understanding the interactions within these ecosystems, where anaerobic bacteria play a key rôle in these processes.
