Abstract
Anaerobic bacteria are a rare cause of mycotic aortic aneurysm (MAA). One reason for this may be that the organisms are often fastidious and do not grow well on standard laboratory media. The advent of molecular techniques such as the identification of RNA from the 16S ribosomal subunit of bacteria by polymerase chain reaction (16S PCR) has offered the opportunity to identify organisms from clinical specimens that are culture negative. This allows better management of patients with difficult or unusual infections, including those caused by anaerobic organisms.
