However, because bloody diarrhea was not observed, ETBF infection was presumed to cause noninflammatory diarrhea. [academic.oup.com]
Skin
- Erythema
The surgical and bullet-entrance wounds appear intact without any evidence of leakage/drainage, erythema, or warmth. Initial lab-work shows an elevated white blood cell count of 17.1 x 10^9 cells/L. [step1.medbullets.com]
- Skin Rash
Itching of the legs is a common ailment that may arise without any underlying disease or obvious skin rash and often no cause can be found. Forum-Rolle: Teilnehmer Eröffnete Themen: 0 Verfasste Antworten: 0 [asv-ottweiler.de]
Whether it’s skin rashes, gut infections, or ASD, the work going on at Avitra, Finch, and Axial (and many other microbiome companies) is far from skin deep. [clinicalomics.com]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Based on these data, we now suggest that the combined (rather than individual) activity of MPII and FRA is required for the overall B. fragilis virulence in vivo. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Computerized tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated multiple large liver lesions as well as pericolonic lymphadenopathy suggesting metastatic cancer. [cdc.gov]
Neurologic
- Irritability
This case also illustrates the absence of classic findings of meningeal irritation in the elderly. The literature is reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Studies have found it to be helpful for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Crohn’s disease. Why Nexabiotic? The answer is simple. Nexabiotic Multi Probiotic capsules have been designed to assist and improve all aspects of probiotic function. [amazon.com]
Diarrheal illnesses remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with increasing recognition of long-term sequelae, including postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome and growth faltering, as well as cognitive deficits in children. [academic.oup.com]
Studies have further established that the enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) strains are more pathogenic than non-toxigenic (NTBF) ones and they are associated with various diseases such as septicaemia, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and colorectal [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]
Reduced abundance of the Bacteroidetes in some cases is associated with obesity and irritable bowel syndrome. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
METHODS: We compared the presence of the bft gene in mucosal samples from colorectal neoplasia patients (cases, n = 49) to a control group undergoing outpatient colonoscopy for CRC screening or diagnostic workup (controls, n = 49). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
- Clostridium Perfringens
Cefoxitin is inactive against most clostridial organisms, except Clostridium perfringens. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Compared with other sequenced colonic microorganisms such as Bifidobacterium longum and Clostridium perfringens, both Bacteroides species contain much larger numbers of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes with a wide range of substrate specificities (132 [doi.org]

Cultures of the bronchial secretion were negative for pathogens, and blood cultures yielded a Candida parapsilosis isolate. [jcm.asm.org]
Treatment
A transcriptionally regulated response was observed using quantitative RT-PCR after metronidazole and hydrogen peroxide treatment, with all three genes being upregulated under stress conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finally, ETBF could be a marker of CRC prognosis, particularly in the precancerous lesions, and could be used to screen these disorders. [frontiersin.org]
Etiology
We recently diagnosed and treated an unusual case of primary endocarditis due to Bacteroides fragilis, for which no underlying etiology was found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Defining a microbial etiology for colon cancer has key implications as colon cancer is a major public health problem being the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States in women and men. [grantome.com]
