Subsequently, modulation of the heme metabolic pathway was performed by isolating alpha toxin-producing gut bacteria from ceca of naïve hyperparasitemia susceptible CR mice. We hypothesized alpha toxin-producing gut bacteria could result in the lysis of red blood cells and alter host heme metabolic...
fragilis (the most commonly recovered member), Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus and Bacteroides vulgatus. They are part of the normal gastrointestinal flora1 and predominate in intra-abdominal infections and other infections that originate from the gut flora (i.e. ...

The genusBacteroidescontains Gram-negative, nonsporeforming, nonmotile, anaerobic rods generally isolated from the gastrointestinal tract (GI-tract) of humans and animals. Up until about 12 years ago the genus was quite diverse and included nearly every organism that fit this generalized description. ...
ovatus and Prevotella melaninogenica in pus samples from various anatomical sites by immunofluorescence microscopy of the pus. With standard clinical laboratory culture methods, 36% of 147 samples were positive for one or more of the above bacteria. Of these, B. fragilis accounted for 33%. By ...

Several species in the genusBacteroides, such asBacteroides acidifaciens,B. dorei,Bacteroides fragilis,Bacteroides ovatus,Bacteroides uniformis,B. vulgatus, andBacteroides xylanisolvens, are considered beneficial to the host because they can produceSCFAsand other metabolites that regulate host metabolism [...
