A study on Nim expression in Bacteroides fragilis [PDF]

Microbiology, 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.

Identification of genes required for the survival of B. fragilis using massive parallel sequencing of a saturated transposon mutant library [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Bacteroides fragilis is a Gram-negative anaerobe that is normally a human gut commensal; it comprises a small percentage of the gut Bacteroides but is the most frequently isolated Bacteroides from human infections.

A Common Pathway for Activation of Host-Targeting and Bacteria-Targeting Toxins in Human Intestinal Bacteria

mBio, 2021
Human gut microbes exhibit a spectrum of cooperative and antagonistic interactions with their host and also with other microbes. The major Bacteroides host-targeting virulence factor, Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT), is produced as an inactive protoxin ...

Intestinal Barrier Glycosylation for Gut Physiology and Pathology

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal barrier is a selective structure that safeguards the body from external threats while permitting nutrient absorption and immune surveillance. It consists of the outer mucus layer, the intermediate layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and the inner layer of immune cells. The proteins in the mucus layer and within IECs are

Early intestinal Bacteroides fragilis colonisation and development of asthma

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2008
Background The 'hygiene hypothesis' suggests that early exposure to microbes can be protective against atopic disease. The intestinal microbial flora could operate as an important postnatal regulator of the Th1/Th2 balance.

Associations between the gut microbiota, immune cells, and different subtypes of epilepsy: A Mendelian randomization study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The gut microbiota (GM) plays a role in epilepsy development via the microbiota–gut–brain axis. However, its relationship with various epilepsy subtypes and its mediating role through immune cells remain unclear. Thus, identifying the GM linked to specific epilepsy subtypes and investigating immune mechanisms to predict epilepsy risk,
