Expression of hemolysins in vivo and role of HlyBA in an intra-abdominal infection model
(2013-04)
Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from anaerobic infections. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the genetic and molecular aspects of gene expression of its virulence ...
Investigations into the roles of bacteroides fragilis thioredoxins during the oxidative stress response
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The Gram-negative Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequently isolated bacterium from anaerobic infections. Native to the human intestinal tract, it serves a symbiotic role breaking down complex polysaccharides and ...
Role of the Iron Storage Ferritins Dps and DpsL during the Prolonged Oxidative Stress Response of Bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-02)
Bacteroides fragilis is a Gram negative anaerobe and member of the human intestinal tract microbiome. B. fragilis serves many beneficial roles within the intestinal tract; however, its translocation to the peritoneal cavity ...
Function and regulation of the polysaccharide utilization locus, don, in the gut symbiont bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Bacteroides fragilis is the most common anaerobe isolated from clinical infections and in this report we demonstrate a novel feature of the species that is critical to their success as an opportunistic pathogen. Among the ...
