A possible role of Bacteroides fragilis enterotoxin in the aetiology of colorectal cancer

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
The prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) was investigated in stool specimens from 73 patients with colorectal cancer and from 59 control patients. Stool specimens were cultured on Bacteroides Bile Esculin agar and B.

Bacteroides fragilis Group: Trends in Resistance

Current Microbiology, 2006
Representing the major part of the human colon microflora, members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are frequently involved in mixed aerobic and anaerobic infections. Recent studies show an increased resistance of the B. fragilis group against several antimicrobial agents.

Prevalence of the Bacteroides fragilis Group and Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in Immunodeficient Children

Anaerobe, 2001
Members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are indigenous to the human and animal intestinal microbiota and they are responsible for several endogenous infections. Enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) has been associated with acute diarrhea in children and farm animals.

Significance of encapsulated Bacteroides melaninogenicus and Bacteroides fragilis groups in mixed infections

Infection and Immunity, 1984
Organisms of the Bacteroides melaninogenicus and Bacteroides fragilis groups are often found mixed with facultatively anaerobic organisms in infections. The relative importance of these Bacteroides groups and facultative anaerobic pathogens in mixed infections was investigated in a subcutaneous abscess model in mice.

Transferable 5-Nitroimidazole resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis group

Plasmid, 1989
We report the characterization of a strain of Bacteroides vulgatus, BV17, that exhibits a moderate resistance to 5-nitroimidazoles and carries plasmids of 4.5, 5, 7.7, and 56 kb. A genetic determinant involved in this resistance is carried by the 7.7 +/- 0.2-kb plasmid (pIP417).

Epidemiology of clindamycin resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis group

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1984
A study was made of trends in the susceptibility rates to clindamycin of 338 clinical strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group isolated in the period 1980-83. In 1980, the resistance rate of the species Bact. fragilis to 4 mg/l was only 3.3%, but this percentage increased regularly in 1981 (6.2%), 1982 (15.5%) and reached 19.6% in 1983.

Survey of Bacteroides fragilis group susceptibility patterns in Brazil

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 1997
A total of 83 clinical isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group collected from two Brazilian hospitals during 1993 and 1994, were tested for susceptibility to six antimicrobial agents by using an agar dilution method. The species most frequently isolated was B. fragilis (63.8%), followed by B. thetaiotaomicron (15.6%), B.

In vitro susceptibility of the Bacteroides fragilis group in community hospitals

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1986
The antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group was determined at six community hospitals (one large, greater than 600 beds; and five smaller, 96-325 beds). Imipenem was the most active beta-lactam with 100% of isolates being sensitive at 4 micrograms/ml.

Attributable Mortality of Bacteremia Associated with the Bacteroides fragilis Group

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995
Uncontrolled studies have suggested that Bacteroides fragilis group bacteremia has an attributable mortality rate between 13% and 33%. To determine the true attributable mortality rate and the mortality risk ratio associated with bacteremia due to the B.

Neonatal Pneumonia Caused by Members of the Bacteroides fragilis Group

Clinical Pediatrics, 1980
Three infants who presented with premature rupture of membranes and neonatal pneumonia caused by organisms belonging to members of the B. fragilis group are reported. In all 3 instances, the organisms were recovered from tracheal aspirates and in 2 from blood cultures as well.
