Resistance and Virulence Features of Bacteroides spp. Isolated from Abdominal Infections in Romanian Patients

Pathogens, 2020
Anaerobic bacteria are predominant residents of the normal microbiota of the skin and mucous membranes but are also known to be associated with a number of human infections including peritonitis, appendicitis, abscesses, ulcers and wound infections ...

Characterization of a Multidrug-Resistant, Novel Bacteroides Genomospecies

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Metronidazole- and carbapenem-resistant Bacteroides fragilis are rare in the United States. We isolated a multidrug-resistant anaerobe from the bloodstream and intraabdominal abscesses of a patient who had traveled to India.

Regulation of CTnDOT Conjugative Transfer Is a Complex and Highly Coordinated Series of Events

mBio, 2013
CTnDOT is a 65-kb conjugative transposon that is found in Bacteroides spp., which are one of the more abundant members within the lower human gastrointestinal tract. CTnDOT encodes resistance to the antibiotics erythromycin and tetracycline (Tc).

Lincomycins in the Treatment of Bacteroides Infections [PDF]

BMJ, 1972
Lincomycin, or the closely related derivative clindamycin, was used to treat six patients with bacteroides infection. In five of the six there was a rapid clinical response to the treatment. Lincomycin and clindamycin seem to be the antibiotics of choice for such infections.
