Cephalosporinases associated with outer membrane vesicles released by Bacteroides spp. protect gut pathogens and commensals against beta-lactam antibiotics [PDF]
, 2014 Objectives: To identify β-lactamase genes in gut commensal Bacteroides species and to assess the impact of these enzymes, when carried by outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), in protecting enteric pathogens and commensals.

Bacteroides fragilis Enterotoxin Gene Sequences in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000 We identified enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in stool specimens of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. The organism was detected in 11 (13.2%) of 83 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Of 57 patients

Single‐Chain Anti‐IL‐1β Antibody Carried by Outer Membrane Vesicles of Bacteroides fragilis Alleviates Tubular Inflammation in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
J Extracell VesiclesEngineered Bacteroides fragilis outer membrane vesicles carrying anti‐IL‐1β scFv and kidney‐targeting peptides alleviate renal inflammation and injury in CKD mouse models via precise delivery and NF‐κB inhibition. ABSTRACT Microinflammation is a key driver of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, with interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) playing a pivotal role ...

Radioimmunoassay for Bacteroides fragilis infections [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1980 Radioimmunoassay methods were evaluated for immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies against Bacteroides fragilis antigen. Of 12 serum samples from patients with B fragilis infections, 9 had higher concentrations of immunoglobulin G antibodies than any from 11 control subjects.

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Bacteroides fragilis, an Important Pathobiont in the Human Gut Microbiome
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Background: While CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified in bacteria from a wide variety of ecological niches, there are no studies to describe CRISPR-Cas elements in Bacteroides species, the most prevalent anaerobic bacteria in the lower intestinal ...
