Isolation of Bacteroides fragilis from the feces of diarrheic calves and lambs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A selective medium was developed for the isolation of Bacteroides fragilis directly from ovine and bovine fecal samples. The medium (tryptose blood agar plus polymyxin B, triclosan (Irgasan), novobiocin, and nalidixic acid) permitted growth of B. fragilis and several other species of Bacteroides but inhibited growth of most other intestinal bacteria.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from stool specimens of 8 of 44 diarrheic individuals (ages, 4 months to 69 years). The individuals had watery diarrhea and intestinal cramping; and infants had hyperthermia, vomiting, and blood in the stools. No recognized enteric pathogens were detected in seven of the eight diarrheic individuals positive for enterotoxigenic B. fragilis. The b...

متن کاملDetection of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis by PCR.
Strains of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) are associated with diarrhea in young farm animals and, at least in particular settings, in children. Enterotoxin production by ETBF is currently detected by a tissue culture assay with HT-29 cells. We have developed a PCR assay based on the detection of the enterotoxin gene to identify ETBF in culture and in stool samples. Overall, 113 bac...
