A novel approach to probe host-pathogen interactions of bovine digital dermatitis, a model of a complex polymicrobial infection [PDF]
Background: Polymicrobial infections represent a great challenge for the clarification of disease etiology and the development of comprehensive diagnostic or therapeutic tools, particularly for fastidious and difficult-to-cultivate bacteria. Using bovine

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

Murine fecal microbiota transplantation lowers gastrointestinal pathogen loads and dampens pro-inflammatory immune responses in Campylobacter jejuni infected secondary abiotic mice [PDF]
Conventional mice are protected from Campylobacter jejuni infection by the murine host-specific gut microbiota composition. We here addressed whether peroral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) might be an antibiotics-independent option to lower even ...

Radioimmunoassay for Bacteroides fragilis infections [PDF]
Radioimmunoassay methods were evaluated for immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies against Bacteroides fragilis antigen. Of 12 serum samples from patients with B fragilis infections, 9 had higher concentrations of immunoglobulin G antibodies than any from 11 control subjects.

Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits [PDF]
The different compartments of the gastrointestinal tract are inhabited by populations of micro-organisms. By far the most important predominant populations are in the colon where a true symbiosis with the host exists that is a key for well-being and ...

Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there
