  1. 1. Beta-lactam and metronidazole resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis group

    Author : Hong Fang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bacteroides fragilis group; beta-lactam; metronidazole; resistance; beta-lactamase; penicillinbinding proteins PBPs ; outer membrane proteins OMPs ;

    Abstract : The Bacteroides fragilis group organisms are anaerobic gram-negative bacilli. Ten species are currently included in this group. Members of the B. fragilis group are the major constituents of the normal colonic microflora and the most commonly encountered anaerobic bacteria in clinical specimens. READ MORE

  2. 2. Identification of Bacteroides fragilis from clinical samples

    Author : Guangming Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : identification; B. fragilis; enterotoxigenic B. fragilis; monoclonal antibodies; and PCR;

    Abstract : The members of Bacteroides fragilis group are Gram-negative anaerobic, non-spore forming rods that are present in the normal flora of human intestine. B. fragilis group consists of ten species: B. caccae, B. READ MORE

  3. 3. Quinolone resistance in Bacteroides fragilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two opportunistic pathogens

    Author : Herin Oh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Quinolone; resistance; B. fragilis; P. aeruginosa; topoisomerase; efflux;

    Abstract : Opportunistic pathogens can cause infections in case of structural or functional defects in the host. Examples of Gram-negative opportunists are the Bacteroides fragilis group, anaerobic, non-spore forming rods and the aerobic, non-fermentative rod Pseudomonas aeruginosa. READ MORE

  4. 4. Early-life gut microbiota and breast milk oligosaccharides in relation to childhood immune maturation and allergy

    Author : Ylva Margareta Sjögren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Outi Vaarala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergy; infant; gut microbiota; human milk oligosaccharides; Bifidobacterium; Lactobacillus; Bacteroides fragilis; Clostridium difficile; family size; secretory IgA; toll like receptor; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Atopic allergy is the most common chronic disease among children in the developed world. This high prevalence could be associated with low microbial exposure. The early gut microbiota appears to be important for immune maturation. READ MORE

  5. 5. Ecological aspects of antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria in Nicaragua

    Author : Mercedes Cáceres; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Antimicrobial susceptibility; normal flora; anaerobic infections; B-lactamase; enterotoxigenic B. fragilis;

    Abstract : Anaerobic bacteria are the predominant constituents of the normal flora on the skin and the mucous membranes of the human body. They may also act as potent pathogens in a variety of endogenous infections. Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem with anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Different mechanisms for such resistance are known. READ MORE
