TLDR
Polymicrobial and pleomorphic appearance of gram stain combined with absence of growth on routine aerobic cultures supports the causative role of anaerobes in a particular infection.

A Review: Lessons From an Animal Model of Intra-abdominal Sepsis

TL;DR: Observations suggest that both coliforms and anaerobes are important pathogens in intra-abdominal sepsis, although the different types of microbes appear to play distinctive roles in the sequence of pathological events.

Anaerobic infections in children: a prospective survey.

TL;DR: Recovery of other anaerobes from the blood, and primarily Bacteroides species, was usually associated with clinical disease, and except in blood cultures, anaerOBes almost invariably coexisted with facultative bacteria.

Perspective on Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobic Bacteria

TL;DR: Because resistance is increasing among anaerobes, susceptibility testing is very important and should be done when patients are seriously ill, when patients do not respond to therapy or relapse, when there are few data available on a species, when the organisms isolated are frequently resistant, and when patients require prolonged therapy.
