Adherence of Bacteroides fragilis in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1978
The ability of the encapsulated species Bacteroides fragilis to adhere to rat peritoneal mesothelium was compared to the adherence of unecapsulated strains of Bacteroides (B. distasonis, B. vulgatus, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. ovatus, and B. "other"). Adherence was assayed by attaching plexiglas plates containing 8-mm holes to the peritoneal mesothelium ...

A study on Nim expression in Bacteroides fragilis [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 2014
Members of the genus Bacteroides, mainly Bacteroides fragilis, can cause severe disease in man, especially after intestinal perforation in the course of abdominal surgery. Treatment is based on a small number of antibiotics, including metronidazole, which has proved to be highly reliable throughout the last 40 to 50 years.

The Role of the Bacteroides spp. in Bacteraemia

open access: yesPostępy 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 ...
