Anaerobic Infections
Abstract
A BASIC fact of our tenuous coexistence with our environment is that "life on man" is predominantly anaerobic. The micro-organisms that reside on our skins populate our mouths and proliferate in the deeper recesses of our gastrointestinal tracts have an obligatory requirement to avoid atmospheric oxygen. Indeed, their necessity to live without oxygen is as great as their host's necessity to live with it.Since anaerobic bacteria are the major residents of our skins and mucous-membrane surfaces, it is reasonable to suspect that these organisms play a part in pathologic processes associated with disturbances of these sites. In the past, . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
