Micromanagement in the gut : microenvironmental factors govern colon mucosal biofilm structure and functionality [PDF]
, 2015 The human gut microbiome provides us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves and can be viewed as a structured microbial community that operates like a microbial organ within the human host.

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 ...

Serogrouping of Bacteroides fragilis subsp. fragilis by the agglutination test [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1976 The agglutination technique was used to establish a serological classification scheme for 98 strains of Bacteroides fragilis subsp. fragilis isolated from clinical specimens and normal human feces. Absorbed antisera were prepared to seven strains of B. fragilis subsp. fragilis.

Aggregation by fragilis and non-fragilis Bacteroides strains in vitro [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1989 Bacteroides fragilis is associated with the formation of intra-abdominal abscesses, whereas other Bacteroides species are rarely involved. Since bacterial clumping may contribute to the survival of bacteria in the face of host defence mechanisms, the hypothesis has been put forward that differences in aggregation between fragilis and non-fragilis ...
