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.

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.

Efflux-Mediated Fluoroquinolone Resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis Group

Anaerobe, 2002
In order to investigate the role of efflux pumps in fluoroquinolone resistance, 35 Bacteroides fragilis group isolates with various resistance patterns against ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxiflox ...

Post-antibiotic effect in Bacteroides fragilis group.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science, 1988
Post-antibiotic effect (PAE) is the transient suppression of bacterial growth after brief antimicrobial exposure. While numerous reports have described PAE with aerobic and facultative microorganisms, virtually no studies have been conducted with anaerobic isolates.

New findings in beta-lactam and metronidazole resistant Bacteroides fragilis group

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2002
Beta-lactam antibiotics and 5-nitroimidazoles have been extensively used against anaerobic bacteria. However, antibiotic resistance is increasingly common among anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli. The classical mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactams are, (1) production of beta-lactamases; (2) alteration of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs); and (3 ...

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.

Synergistic activity of cefotaxime and desacetylcefotaxime against the Bacteroides fragilis group

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1988
Sensitivities to cefotaxime (CTX) and its metabolite, desacetylcefotaxime (DCTX), alone and in combination, were determined for 77 organisms of the B. fragilis group. Synergy was observed in 23 (30%) of the strains, of which 21 were those that had a MIC to CTX alone of less than or equal to 16 micrograms/ml.

Heterogeneity in resistant fecal Bacteroides fragilis group collected from healthy people

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2016
Normal nonpathogenic flora would represent a constant lake of resistance genes potentially transferable to human pathogens. To assess the prevalence of resistance genes and genetic variability of Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) from normal flora, 177 Bacteroides isolates obtained from the fecal samples of healthy individuals.

Pathogenicity of the Bacteroides fragilis group.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science, 1989
The Bacteroides fragilis group is one of the most important pathogens in polymicrobial infections. The distribution of the different members of the B. fragilis group in clinical infections varies. Bacteroides fragilis accounts for 63 percent of all the group isolates, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron for 14 percent, Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides ...

[Antibiotic sensitivity of Bacteroides fragilis group in Algeria].

Archives de l'Institut Pasteur d'Algerie. Institut Pasteur d'Algerie, 2001
The antimicrobial resistance evolution of the Bacteroïdes fragilis group is the subject of international survey. Eighty-six clinical isolates collected in anaerobic service of I.P. A were tested for susceptibility to twelve antimicrobial agents. Chloramphenicol, metronidazole and imipenem proved to be the most active agents.
