Association of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis with bacteremia.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was compared with cell culture assay performed with use of HT29/C1 (human colonic epithelial) cells for identifying strains of enterotoxin-producing Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolated from extraintestinal specimens. A total of 188 unselected strains obtained over 2 years at a central clinical laboratory in Tokyo were tested. Overall, 35 strains (18.6%) we...
متن کاملBacteremia with Bacteroides pyogenes after a cat bite.
Animal bite wounds are often infected with bacteria from the animal's oral flora. We report what we believe to be the first case of bacteremia with Bacteroides pyogenes resulting from an infected cat bite.
متن کاملClinical significance of and outcomes for Bacteroides fragilis bacteremia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bacteroides fragilis is a virulent anaerobic pathogen, resulting in considerable mortality. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical characteristics, significance of polymicrobial bacteremia, and treatment outcomes of B. fragilis bacteremia. METHODS This retrospective analysis enrolled 199 adult patients with B. fragilis bacteremia, who were admitted to hosp...
متن کاملBacteroides fragilis: a case study of bacteremia and septic arthritis.
A 67-year-old African-American male presented with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and knee pain. Four sets of blood cultures were collected and resulted in the growth of Bacteroides fragilis in all anaerobic bottles. Later, a fluid and tissue sample from the patient's knee grew the same species of bacteria. The patient was placed on intravenous antibiotics to fight the infection.
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance and clinical outcome of Bacteroides bacteremia: findings of a multicenter prospective observational trial.
There is debate regarding the correlation between in vitro susceptibility testing and clinical response to therapy for Bacteroides bacteremia. We conducted a prospective multicenter observational study of 128 patients with bacteroides bacteremia. Outcome was correlated with results of in vitro susceptibility testing of Bacteroides isolates recovered from blood and/or nonblood sites, determined ...
