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.

Vaginal carriage of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in pregnant women
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997Bacteroides 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%).

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2008Bacteroides 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.

Prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in hospital-acquired diarrhea
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2006Stool 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.

Antigenic characteristics of enterotoxigenic and nonenterotoxigenic isolates of Bacteroides fragilis
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987SUMMARY Fecal isolates of enterotoxigenic (44 isolates) and nonenterotoxigenic (25 isolates) Bacteroides fragilis were obtained from diarrheic calves (62 isolates), lambs (2 isolates), and pigs (5 isolates). Using a Microtiter whole-cell agglutination test and gel double-diffusion analysis, the isolates were reacted with nonabsorbed rabbit antisera ...

Isolation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from humans with diarrhea
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987Enterotoxigenic 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 Patients With Diarrhea: A Controlled Study
Anaerobe, 2005In this age matched controlled study performed in Malatya, a city in east region of Turkey, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) was investigated in stool specimens obtained from children and adults with and without diarrhea. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to detect the enterotoxin gene of B.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis causes lethal colitis in Mongolian gerbils
Anaerobe, 2013Enterotoxigenic 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.

Association of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis with diarrheal disease in young pigs
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987SUMMARY Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (etbf) was isolated from intestinal contents of 10 of 45 pigs with diarrhea. Of 10 etbf-positive pigs, seven were 1 to 4 weeks of age, whereas three pigs had diarrhea after weaning (6 to 8 weeks of age). Of ten pigs infected with etbf, nine were also infected with K88-positive Escherichia coli, rotavirus ...
