Anaerobic Profile of Intra-abdominal Infections – A 23-Year Retrospective Study

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023
Obligate anaerobes, which are part of normal intestinal flora are now gaining pathogenic potential by becoming more virulent and causing moderate to severe abdominal infections. Moreover, there is delay in initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

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.
