Bacteroides Fragilis

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1973
SummaryBacteroides fragilis is a frequent causative agent of serious infections occurring after major surgery or in immuno depressed patients.Technical details concerning its isolation and identification are presented.The nature of the necessary growth factor seems to be the tetrapyrrolstructure.

Bacteroides Fragilis Perinephric Abscess

Journal of Urology, 1980
Although urinary tract infection caused by Bacteroides fragilis has been recognized since the turn of the century it is not frequently recognized in clinical practice. Only a small number of significant upper urinary tract infections in which Bacteroides fragilis has had a significant pathogenic role have been reported previously.

The toxins of Bacteroides fragilis

Toxicon, 2001
Bacteroides fragilis are both key commensals and important human pathogens. Particular strains of B. fragilis, termed enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF), are recently identified enteric pathogens of children and adults. These strains are distinguished by secretion of a 20kDa metalloprotease toxin (B.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2008
Bacteroides fragilis is a minor component of the microbial flora of the intestine but the most frequent disease--causing anaerobe. Virulence characteristics are its capsule, which induces abscess formation, and the production of fragilysin, a Zn-metalloprotease.

Bacteroides fragilis in acute salpingitis

Infection, 1979
The bacteriology of acute salpingitis was studied in 87 patients. Gonococci were recovered from 18 patients. Lower yields of bacteria were isolated in the peritoneal fluid than from the vaginal cultures, and a poor correlation was observed between the peritoneal fluid and vaginal cultures. Anaerobic bacteria dominated in both sites.

Experimental Bacteroides fragilis Keratitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1978
To determine the corneal pathogenicity of certain anaerobic bacteria, Bacteroides fragilis keratitis was induced in rabbits by the intrastromal inoculation of 10' viable organisms. All eyes inoculated developed central abscesses within 24 hours. Abscesses persisted and became vascularized in two of three eyes that were observed for two weeks, as ...

Transposon Mutagenesis of Bacteroides fragilis

2019
Bacteroides fragilis is Gram-negative obligatory anaerobe which usually resides in the gut of humans and animals. As an important member of the human gut microbiota it plays a vital role in digestion and absorption of nutrients as well as shaping of host immune system. B. fragilis is also infamous for causing serious infections.

Prevalence of the Bacteroides fragilis Group and Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in Immunodeficient Children

Anaerobe, 2001
Members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are indigenous to the human and animal intestinal microbiota and they are responsible for several endogenous infections. Enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) has been associated with acute diarrhea in children and farm animals.

The Susceptibility of Bacteroides fragilis to 24 Antibiotics

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1972
Of the anaerobic, nonsporulating, gram-negative bacilli, those of the genus Bacteroides are most frequently associated with serious infections in man. Forty clinical isolates of the species Bacteroides fragilis were tested quantitatively against 24 antibiotics by an agar-dilution method under anaerobic conditions.
