Clinicians have yet another type of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria to put on the radar screen: MDR Bacteroides fragilis. Bacteroides fragilis strains are obligate anaerobic bacteria that live in the human gut. They’re usually susceptible to metronidazole, carbapenems, and beta-lactam antibioti...

Bacteroides fragilisis typically associated with postoperativesepsisin abdominal andgynaecological surgery. It is also found as part of the polymicrobial flora in cerebral, hepatic andlung abscess.

The strain was susceptible only to moxifloxacin and linezolid [35]. Multidrug resistant B. fragilis strains were detected, although infrequently in Europe; however, in 2012, such a strain was reported for the first time in Scandinavia [32]. The strain was resistant to the main antibiotics for ...
It was shown that recent Swedish clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria are susceptible to many antibiotics by the agar dilution method with the exception of the Bacteroides group versus beta-lactam antibiotics or tetracyclines. Strains of B. fragilis were inhibited by 4--greater than 128 micrograms...
Bacteroides fragilis is a part of the normal gastrointestinal flora, but it is also the most common anaerobic bacteria causing the infection. It is highly resistant to antibiotics and contains abundant antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The antibiotic res
Bacteroides fragilis, resulting in a group that is much more biochemically and genetically cohesive (Shah and Collins, 1989). This group is now comprised of what were previouslyB. fragilissubspecies plus a few additional newly recognized species. The genus includesBacteroides fragilis,B. ...
DISCUSSION Alterations of the gut commensal bacteria populations by oral treatment with antibiotics can influence the development of EAE.13,19 We herein show that oral treatment with a sin- gle purified polysaccharide antigen derived from B. fragilis, a non-toxic component of the normal human ...

fragilis group and increasing numbers of Prevotella, Porphyromonas and Fusobacterium produce β-lactamase enzymes, rendering the β-lactam antibiotics inactive. The inhibitor agents (clavulanate, sulbactam and tazobactam) irreversibly inhibit most of these β-lactamase enzymes. Thus, β-lactam/β-lactamase...
