(Porphyromonas asaccharolytica) and nonpigmented Prevotella spp. (Prevotella oralis, Prevotella oris) are part of the normal oral and vaginal flora and are the predominant anaerobic gram-negative bacilli (AGNB) isolated from respiratory infections and their complications, aspiration pneumonia, lung ...
GibS—an intergenic sRNA conserved withinBacteroidesspp To successfully colonize and persist in the human gut,B. thetaiotaomicronrelies in large part on its ability to rapidly adapt to the ever-changing conditions associated with this dynamic environment. Given that sRNAs in other organisms are known ...
An intriguing characteristic of many gutBacteroidesspp. is the presence of multiple B12acquisition loci. This raises the important question as to whether these systems are redundant or different, complementing each other in order to ensure optimal B12capture from the environment. An earlier study repor...
Because phase variable expression of the capsular polysaccharide has been demonstrated in a related Bacteroides spp. (Bacteroides fragilis; Ref. 40) and hypothesized for several others (41), we examined the extent to which expression of these epitopes varied among members of the population during ...
