Digestion of proteoglycan by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron [PDF]
It has been shown previously that Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a human colonic anaerobe, can utilize the tissue mucopolysaccharide chondroitin sulfate as a source of carbon and energy and that the enzymes involved in this utilization are all cell associated (A. A. Salyers and M. B. O'Brien, J. Bacteriol. 143:772-780, 1980).

Transferable resistance to cefoxitin in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron [PDF]
Cefoxitin resistance, but not resistance to clindamycin, erythromycin, lincomycin, or tetracycline, was transferred by a conjugation-like process from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron UN101, a clinical isolate haboring four kinds of plasmids, to other Bacteroides species. Of a sample of 20 cefoxitin-resistant transconjugants, 8 contained all 4 plasmids, 10

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Outer Membrane Vesicles Modulate Virulence of Shigella flexneri
The role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of Shigella flexneri remains largely unknown. To understand the impact of the gut microbiota on S.

Incorporation of leucine into phospholipids of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron [PDF]
L-[4,5-3H]- or L-[U-14C]leucine was incorporated by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron into acid-precipitable material even when the bacteria were treated with concentrations of tetracycline high enough to prevent growth. Similar results were obtained when L-[2,3,4-3H]valine or L-[4,5-3H]isoleucine was used instead of leucine.

Objective: The gastrointestinal tract (GI) is colonized by a complex microbial community of gut microbiota. Bacteroides spp. have significant roles in gut microbiota and they host interactions by various mechanisms, including outer membrane vesicle ...

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]
The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.

Chemoproteomic identification of a DPP4 homolog in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
Serine hydrolases play important roles in signaling and human metabolism, yet little is known about their functions in gut commensal bacteria. Using bioinformatics and chemoproteomics, we identify serine hydrolases in the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron that are specific to the Bacteroidetes phylum.

Capsular Polysaccharide Cross-Regulation Modulates
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is one of the most abundant gut symbiont species, whose contribution to host health through its ability to degrade dietary polysaccharides and mature the immune system is under intense scrutiny.

Interaction of Bacteroides fragilis and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron with the kallikrein–kinin system [PDF]
Many bacterial pathogens interfere with the contact system (kallikrein–kinin system) in human plasma. Activation of this system has two consequences: cleavage of high-molecular-mass kininogen (HK) resulting in release of the potent proinflammatory peptide bradykinin, and initiation of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation.
