Imagine you are a doctor treating a patient with a skin infection caused by a facultative anaerobic bacteria. You have tried several rounds of topical antibiotics, but the infection keeps returning. One of your interns suggests that you try hyperbaric chamber treatment – how would you respond?   1. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment might work because these bacteria won’t be able to obtain energy under low-oxygen conditions. Let’s give it a shot.”    2. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment won’t work because these bacteria can undergo anaerobic fermentation when oxygen levels are low. I’m prescribing oral antibiotics.”   3. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment won’t work because these bacteria can undergo aerobic respiration when oxygen is abundant. I’m going to prescribe oral antibiotics.”   4. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment might work because these bacteria won’t be able to obtain energy under high-oxygen conditions. Let’s give it a shot.”
