High prevalence of resistance to clindamycin in Bacteroides fragilis group isolates [PDF]
Susceptibility to anti-anaerobic agents in the Bacteroides fragilis group varies according to the geographical region studied. In recent years there has been a reduction in the susceptibility of such isolates, particularly to antibiotics such as clindamycin and cefoxitin. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 100 isolates of the B.

The Emerging Role of Gut Microbiota in Inflammatory Skin Diseases: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The human gut microbiota is involved in immune regulation, metabolism, and skin homeostasis. In recent years, gut microbiota alterations have been linked with several inflammatory skin disorders, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).
