Anaerobic bacteria are one of the most important bacteria, involved in a number of diseases and infections. These are also involved in food borne illness. Due to their fastidious nature, culturing anaerobic bacteria is a bit difficult task. Moreover, anaerobic bacteria can take several days and weeks to grow in laboratories. Apart from this, most bacteria just cannot be cultured in laboratories using standard (anaerobic) cultivation techniques known so far. Difficulties in microbiological detection result in delayed diagnosis of the diseases. Many patients suffer due to these facts, as rapid identification is not only difficult, but in many cases, is almost impossible. Thus, there is a need to develop novel techniques for the cultivation and identification of clinically important anaerobes. Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens is necessary for the prevention of foodborne disease and for the safe supply of food. Present article reviews and discusses advance techniques, both culture-dependent and culture-independent, that allow rapid detection of such important anaerobic bacteria. Advancements in culturing techniques has reduced the time to grow the anaerobic bacteria in laboratories. Whereas advancements in molecular techniques have enabled the rapid detection of medically important anaerobes including Clostridium, Bacteroides, and many others.
