Case 3: a 6-month, full term, previously health girl presents to the pediatric ed, her parents report she has become progressively fussy, her oral intake is poor and she has had a. Weak cry for 4 days: uninterested in feeding or playing, exam, listless, afebrile, stable vital signs, sluggish pupils, decreased muscle tone, no reflexes bilaterally. This girl has botulism due to c. botulinum. A facultative anaerobe is an organism that makes atp by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present, but is capable of switching to fermentation or anaerobic respiration if oxygen is absent. An obligate aerobe, by contrast, cannot make atp in the absence of oxygen, and obligate anaerobes die in the presence of oxygen.
