I think that the more accurate description of an facultative anaerobe would be: A bacteria that is not harmed by oxygen present and can survive without it. In the case of oral streptococci, they are considered facultative anaerobes that do not use oxygen as a final oxidizing agent, as in respiration, to obtain energy from carbohydrates. They use fermentation whether oxygen is available or not. Franky 10:26 4 December 2008
