B. fragilis induces cytokine expression, which can serve as a host signal leading to inflammatory reaction and abscess formation in the peritoneal cavity. We assessed the hypothesis that enteric bacteria may alter the B. fragilis-induced expression of KC genes in mouse peritoneal tissues (MPT). Af...
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 ...
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...
