Presentation
We here present the first case of a metronidazole resistant nimD positive Bacteroides stercoris. The isolate originated from a polymicrobial intra-abdominal abscess in a 70-year-old woman. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Splenomegaly
Computerized axial tomography revealed left sided free flowing pleural effusion and splenomegaly with liquefaction and possible gas formation. The splenic fluid grew an unusual organism known as Bacteroides distasonis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dog Bite
We describe a case of bloodstream infection caused by Bacteroides denticanum that probably originated from a dog bite. MALDI-TOF MS misidentified this new species as B. pyogenes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
B. fragilis was isolated from one patient with a dog bite and from one patient with a cat bite, and B. ovatus was isolated from one patient with a dog bite ( 272 ). Endocarditis and pericarditis. [cmr.asm.org]

Splenectomy
The patient received antimicrobial therapy and underwent a splenectomy with full recovery. The spleen was cystically infarcted and measured 22 x 16 x 5 cm. The capsule was thickened and covered by fibrinous exudate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pleural Effusion

Chest Pain
The presence of fever and left sided pleuritic chest pain in patients with sickle cell disease should raise the suspicion of splenic abscess. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Low Back Pain
Abstract A 35-year-old, previously healthy female presented with severe low back pain, fever, and a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate 1 week after a routine dental cleaning. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eczema
Skin and soft tissue infections Infections involving AGNB include superficial infections, such as infected cutaneous ulcers, cellulitis, secondary diaper rash, gastrostomy or tracheostomy site wounds, infected subcutaneous sebaceous or inclusion cysts, eczema [web.archive.org]
-
Formication
The major end products of glucose fermentation were acetic acid, lactic acid and formic acid. DNA-DNA hybridization data indicated that two isolates, YS-aM39 T and R2F3-3-3 T, represent a species distinct from B. ovatus and B. xylanisolvens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pleural Effusion
Computerized axial tomography revealed left sided free flowing pleural effusion and splenomegaly with liquefaction and possible gas formation. The splenic fluid grew an unusual organism known as Bacteroides distasonis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Analysis of k calculated from the 10 experimental treatments indicated that k is more highly correlated to temperature than initial Bacteroides 16S rRNA gene starting concentrations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Oral metronidazole was added to the treatment regimen, in accordance with the antibiogram. An abdominal computerised tomography (CT) showed no abdominal pathologies. [revistanefrologia.com]
Our data show that several genes are differentially expressed after BFT treatment and these changes correlate with changes in chromatin accessibility. [biorxiv.org]
Prognosis
generally indicate a subjacent abdominal pathology and involve a poor prognosis. 1-4 Here we describe the case of a 46-year-old male with a case of peritonitis caused by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron produced two month after starting continuous ambulatory [revistanefrologia.com]

Epidemiology
Analysis of HF183TaqMan (or newer derivatives) is recommended for inclusion in future epidemiological studies concerned with beach water quality, while better concentration techniques are needed for HPyV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiologic Risks Bacteroides spp are the most common organism in the colon at 10 10 –10 11 cells per gram of human feces. To put that into perspective, you are 3.7x10 13 cells. [pusware.com]
ETBF is emerging as an important cause of human diarrheal disease but additional epidemiologic studies are needed to better understand the role of ETBF human disease. [journals.lww.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Most infections due to AGNB originate from the endogenous mucosal membrane florae. Knowledge of the common mode of distribution allows for a logical choice of antimicrobial therapy for infections in these sites. [web.archive.org]
Pathophysiology Although AGNB perform beneficial functions as part of the GI flora, they are also consummate opportunistic pathogens that can cause serious infections, typically in synergistic infections in combination with other anaerobic as well as [emedicine.medscape.com]
