The Role of the Bacteroides spp. in Bacteraemia

Postępy Mikrobiologii, 2022
Anaerobic bacteraemia is not frequent (1.2–13.7%), but is associated with a high mortality rate of 16–27%. Anaerobic infections including bacteraemia nearly always arise from contamination by endogenous bacteria into contiguous or other sites like ...

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 ...

A review of the role of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in the development of colorectal cancer

Basic & Clinical Cancer Research
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) plays a significant role in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) through the production of Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT). This toxin activates Wnt, NF-κB, and STAT3 signaling pathways,

Anaerobic utilization of Fe(III)‐xenosiderophores among Bacteroides species and the distinct assimilation of Fe(III)‐ferrichrome by Bacteroides fragilis within the genus

MicrobiologyOpen, 2017
In this study, we show that Bacteroides species utilize Fe(III)‐xenosiderophores as the only source of exogenous iron to support growth under iron‐limiting conditions in vitro anaerobically.

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

"Capnocytophaga canimorsus" : discovery of a deglycosylation mechanism that links metabolism to pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2008
We show that C. canimorsus (Cc) can serve as a recipient for RP4 mediated conjugation but there is neither replication of broad host range plasmid vectors nor expression of commonly used E. coli markers in C. canimorsus.

Glycolipids from the gut symbiont Bacteroides fragilis are agonists for natural killer T cells and induce their regulatory differentiation

, 2023
Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are a lipid-antigen reactive, CD1d-restricted T cell subset with diverse functional properties that contribute to inflammatory and regulatory immune responses.

An intracellular structure in Bacteroides fragilis [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1981
An unusual intracellular circular or oval structure was discovered during a morphological study of Bacteroides fragilis by electronmicroscopy. The structure is complex, composed of multiple concentric layers surrounding a central region. The dimensions and profile are consistent in all the sections observed.
