A novel method for the provision of an anaerobic atmosphere suitable for the growth of clinically significant anaerobic bacteria was evaluated. The Anaero Gen TM (Oxoid) was compared to an existing commercially available system based on the catalysis of internally generated hydrogen. The new system successfully facilitated the growth of a range of 50 strains of anaerobes and its overall performance compared very favourably with the established method.
