The genus Bacteroides is used only for species of the Bacteroides fragilis group. The “oral” Bacteroides and “pigmented” Bacteroides species have been reclassified as Prevotella (saccharolytic, pigmented species), Porphyromonas (asaccharolytic species), and other genera. Capnophilic organisms (...

Bacteroides fragilis (B. fragilis) is a Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic, commensal bacterium residing in the human gut and holds therapeutic potential for ulcerative colitis (UC). Previous studies have indicated that capsular polysaccharide A (PSA) of B. fragilis is a crucial component for its ...
Statistical analyses Data are reported as means ± SEM for the number of animals indicated. Group data were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Wilcoxon test (jmp version 7) when the ANOVA revealed differences between groups. Differences withP-value <0.05 were...
[29] have all been reported to be associated with a diminished prevalence and abundance ofF. prausnitzii. Moreover, several diseases have been shown to be associated with abnormal Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes ratios [1]. Therefore, analysis of the speciesB. thetaiotaomicronandF. prausnitziimay be ...

Bacteroides fragilis group are resistant to penicillins, mostly through the production of β-lactamase. They include several members – the most commonly isolated ones are B. fragilis (the most commonly recovered member), Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus and ...
B.fragilis was previously associated with the increase of IL-10-producing Treg cells, which limit the proinflammatory mechanisms and consequently contributes to reduction of inflammation. In addition to Bacteroidetes, also the phylum Fusobacteria was more commonly detected in the inflamed mucosa of CD ...
fragilis group [7]. Carbapenemase production or abnormal penicillin binding protein (PBP), that could be associated to porin deficiency, was not studied here. The culture of bacteria in media supplied or not with haemin, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, looked for the possible presence of a ...
fragilis once every two days from day 0 to day 60. Mice in BSAB/B. fragilis group were treated with BSAB in drinking water from day 0 to day 30, and then gavaged with B. fragilis once in two days from day 31 to day 60. Mice in BSAB/NC group were treated with BSAB in drinking...
