The agent of gas gangrene is classified as an based on its oxygen sensitivity so in addition to antibiotics and debrideent, hyperbaric oxygen is commonly used in the treatment of gas gangrene. This organism can persist in the outside environment under extreme harsh conditions which include the presence of high levels of atmospheric oxygen because it is able to form an (seen as the absence of color in the Gram stain) which will germinate when introduced into environments such as deep muscle tissue with minimal levels of oxygen, lots of water, and lots of nutrients.

You take two stainless steel pins and place each in a separate pan of boiling water for 15 minutes. Using sterile forceps, you then remove each pin from the boiling water and place each separately in a tube of sterile nutrient broth. You put the two tubes of broth in a 35-degree Celsius icubator for two days and then observe them for miucrobial growth. In one you observe extensive growth as evidenced by heavy turbidity, but the other tube remains completely clear, indicating that no growth occurred. Explain.
