Susceptibilities of 394 Bacteroides fragilis, non-B. fragilis group Bacteroides species, and Fusobacterium species to newer antimicrobial agents [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1991 The susceptibilities of 374 selected beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative anaerobes (including 22 cefoxitin-resistant strains and 36 strains refractory to the enhancing effect of beta-lactamase inhibitors) and 20 beta-lactamase-negative strains were tested by agar dilution against selected new agents.

Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis Promotes Gallstone Formation via Bile Acid Metabolic Disorder: A Multiomics Study. [PDF]
FASEB JGallstone patients exhibit intestinal dysbiosis, which leads to bile acid dysregulation. Gallstone patients exhibited increased levels of bacteria with bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. In gallstone patients, the levels of hydrophobic bile acids (e.g., lithocholic acid) were increased, while the levels of hydrophilic bile acids (e.g ...
