For example, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria.* Facultative anaerobe: These are capable of growing under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. For example, Staphylococcus aureus.* Obligate anaerobe: These organisms grow only under non-oxygen environment. Oxygen is toxic for these organisms. For example, Clostridium.* Obligate aerobe: There is absolute requirement of oxygen for survival for this type of organism. For example, Mycobacterium.
