bacteroides

One of the most important clinically is Bacteroides fragilis.

Some members of the genus Bacteroides are opportunistic pathogens.

It has modest activity against the anaerobic Bacteroides fragilis.

The most prevalent bacteria are the bacteroides, which have been implicated in the initiation of colitis and colon cancer.

Bacteroides and spirochetes colonize the mouth around puberty.

In contrast to Bacteroides spp., Fusobacteria have a potent lipopolysaccharide.

They can use simple sugars when available; however, the main sources of energy for Bacteroides species in the gut are complex host-derived and plant glycans.

Unusual in bacterial organisms, Bacteroides membranes contain sphingolipids.

Although Bacteroides species are anaerobic, they are aerotolerant and thus can survive in the abdominal cavity.

Bacteroides, a genus of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria.

Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides spp.

Efficacy is speculated to result from restoring bacterial balances of bacteroides and firmicutes classes of bacteria.

Superinfection by Fusarium and Bacteroides.

Gut microflora is mainly composed by three enterotypes: Prevotella, Bacteroides and Ruminococcus.

This high level of antibiotic resistance has prompted concerns that Bacteroides species may become a reservoir for resistance in other, more highly pathogenic bacterial strains.

The growth of a capillary network is apparently initiated by the presence of bacteria, either Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron alone or a sampling of the full consortium.

Notable exceptions include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus, and Bacteroides fragilis.

"I'd bet a thousand dollars that those neighbors are cultivating something that Bacteroides can take advantage of," Dr. Gilmore said in an interview.

The microorganisms involved in bacterial vaginosis include Gardnerella, Mobiluncus, Bacteroides, and Mycoplasma.

They are normally used to treat staphylococci and streptococci, and have proved useful in treating Bacteroides fragilis and some other anaerobes.

In general, Bacteroides are resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics - β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and recently many species have acquired resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline.

A point to note here is that Bacteroides, Veillonella, and Fusobacterium in the intestines start to increase in number once infants after weaning.

Studies by Lazarachick et a revealed presence of anaerobic bacteroides in as many as 26% cases of amoebic liver abscess with so called 'sterile' pus.

A recent study has demonstrated that a human symbiotic microorganism called Bacteroides fragilis protects animals from experimental colitis induced by Helicobacter hepaticus.

Dichelobacter nodosus, formerly Bacteroides nodosus, is a Gram-negative, obligate anaerobe of the family Cardiobacteriaceae.
