mBio, 2021 Human gut microbes exhibit a spectrum of cooperative and antagonistic interactions with their host and also with other microbes. The major Bacteroides host-targeting virulence factor, Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT), is produced as an inactive protoxin ...

Association of Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis with Bacteremia [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1996 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was compared with cell culture assay performed with use of HT29/C1 (human colonic epithelial) cells for identifying strains of enterotoxin-producing Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolated from extraintestinal specimens.

Detection of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis by PCR [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997 Strains of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) are associated with diarrhea in young farm animals and, at least in particular settings, in children. Enterotoxin production by ETBF is currently detected by a tissue culture assay with HT-29 cells.

Enumeration of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in municipal sewage [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 Of 237 isolates of Bacteroides fragilis from sewage influent at the Bozeman, Mont., wastewater treatment plant, 22 (9.3%) were enterotoxigenic, as indicated by the ability to elicit fluid accumulation in the lamb ileal loop test. It appears that enterotoxigenic B. fragilis is endemic in the human population at a moderately high level.

Bile salt hydrolase in non-enterotoxigenic Bacteroides potentiates colorectal cancer
Nature Communications, 2023 Non-enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (NTBF) is abundant in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced CRC model. Here the authors show that bile salt hydrolase-expressing NTBF is enriched in CRC patients with overweight and

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis: A potential instigator of colitis [PDF]
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 2007 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is proposed to result from a dysregulated mucosal immune response to the colonic flora in genetically susceptible individuals. Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), a molecular subclass of the common human commensal, B. fragilis, has been associated with IBD.

Enterotoxigenic and non-enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from fecal microbiota of children. [PDF]
Braz J Microbiol, 2015 Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an important part of the human and animal intestinal microbiota and is commonly associated with diarrhea. ETBF strains produce an enterotoxin encoded by the bft gene located in the B. fragilis pathogenicity island (BfPAI). Non-enterotoxigenic B.

Distinct interactions with cellular E-cadherin of the two virulent metalloproteinases encoded by a Bacteroides fragilis pathogenicity island. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bacteroides fragilis causes the majority of Gram-negative anaerobic infections in the humans. The presence of a short, 6-kb, pathogenicity island in the genome is linked to enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF). The role of the enterotoxin in B.

Bacteroides fragilis Enterotoxin Gene Sequences in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000 We identified enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in stool specimens of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. The organism was detected in 11 (13.2%) of 83 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Of 57 patients

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2023 Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) has been reported to promote colitis and colon cancer through the secretion of B. fragilis toxin (BFT), a zinc-dependent metalloprotease. In colonic epithelial cells, BFT induces the cleavage of E-cadherin into
