Gut Bacteroides species in health and disease (2021, background): “These Gramnegative obligate anaerobes play multiple roles in the human gut bacteriome and are major players in sustaining the microbial food web of the gut.(7) As proven commensals, mutualists, and beneficial organisms, they not only play the role of “Providers” for the host and other microbes resid”
Environmental and Gut Bacteroidetes: The Food Connection (2011, background): “Indeed, the majority of species isolated from anaerobic infections falls into the Bacteroides genus, acting on different discrete sites such as peritoneal cavity, vagina, sinuses, skin, and heart (Wexler, 2007).”
Intestinal bacterial colonization induces mutualistic regulatory T cell responses. (2011, background): “5%), it is the most commonly isolated anaerobic pathogen, in part because of its potent virulence factors, which include PSA (Coyne et al., 2001; Polk and Kasper, 1977; Wexler, 2007).”
Efflux-Mediated Drug Resistance in Bacteria: an Update (2009, background): “[467] Bacteriodes fragilis is considered both the most frequent clinical isolate and the most virulent Bacteroides species.”
Seasonal shifts in the insect gut microbiome are concurrent with changes in cold tolerance and immunity (2018, background): “Although the specific function of Bacteroides spp. has not been determined in crickets, 358 Bacteroides spp. dominate the human gut microbiome and perform carbohydrate fermentation 359 (Wexler 2007).”
BugBase predicts organism-level microbiome phenotypes (2017, background): “virulence factors, including genes for enterotoxins, capsule formation and proteases [20].”
