anaerobic infection

an infection caused by an anaerobic organism such as Clostridium, usually occurring in deep puncture wounds that exclude air or in tissue that has diminished oxygen-reduction potential as a result of trauma, necrosis, or overgrowth of bacteria. Examples of anaerobic infection are gangrene and tetanus.
