Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) has been recently associated with watery diarrheal disease in livestock and young children. These strains of B. fragilis secrete an extracellular heat-labile protein toxin with a mess of approximately 20 kD. This toxin has been shown to have two major biological activities: stimulation of secretion in ligated

Diarrhea associated with enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in foals

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987
SUMMARY Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (etbf) was isolated from the feces of 10 of 40 Thoroughbred foals with naturally acquired diarrhea Of the 10 foals positive for etbf, 6 were ≤ 7 days old. Fecal specimens from 4 of the 10 foals also were positive for rotavirus, and one fecal specimen was positive for Salmonella enteritidis.

Comparison of microbiological profile of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolates from subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) or intestinal pre-cancerous lesions versus healthy individuals and evaluation of environmental factors involved in intestinal dysbiosis.

Anaerobe, 2023
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolates from colorectal biopsies of subjects with a histological analysis positive for colorectal cancer (CRC), pre-cancerous lesions (pre-CRC) or with a healthy ...

Screening for enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in stool samples

Anaerobe, 2016
Bacteroides fragilis is a commensal bacterium found in the gut of most humans, however enterotoxigenic B. fragilis strains (ETBF) have been associated with diarrhoea and colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to establish a method of screening for the Bacteroides fragilis toxin (bft) gene in stool samples, as a means of determining if ...

Vaginal carriage of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in pregnant women

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
Bacteroides fragilis is an anaerobic bacterial species that is involved in gynecological infections and pathology. The incidence of vaginal carriage is largely unknown, and in order to study this, 120 pregnant women attending a general hospital for delivery were examined. Cultures were positive for eight of these women (6.6%).

Prevalence of the Bacteroides fragilis Group and Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in Immunodeficient Children

Anaerobe, 2001
Members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are indigenous to the human and animal intestinal microbiota and they are responsible for several endogenous infections. Enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) has been associated with acute diarrhea in children and farm animals.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2008
Bacteroides fragilis is a minor component of the microbial flora of the intestine but the most frequent disease--causing anaerobe. Virulence characteristics are its capsule, which induces abscess formation, and the production of fragilysin, a Zn-metalloprotease.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis causes lethal colitis in Mongolian gerbils

Anaerobe, 2013
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) causes inflammatory diarrhea in humans and livestock and is implicated in colorectal cancer. In this report, we show for the first time that ETBF can induce profuse diarrhea and an acute, lethal colitis in Mongolian gerbils.

Isolation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from humans with diarrhea

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from stool specimens of 8 of 44 diarrheic individuals (ages, 4 months to 69 years). The individuals had watery diarrhea and intestinal cramping; and infants had hyperthermia, vomiting, and blood in the stools.

Prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in hospital-acquired diarrhea

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2006
Stool specimens from 152 hospitalized patients with diarrhea were analyzed for the presence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) by a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. ETBF gene sequences were directly detected in 14/152 (9.21%) stools of patients.
