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).

What we actually know about the pathogenicity of Bacteroides pyogenes
Medical Microbiology and Immmunology, 2021 The aim of the study was to evaluate the pathogenic potential of Bacteroides pyogenes, rarely identified in clinical laboratories anaerobic bacteria. To increase the knowledge about this poorly understood anaerobic microorganism, the study also includes ...
