Bacteroides
A genus of gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria. Its organisms are normal inhabitants of the oral, respiratory, intestinal, and urogenital cavities of humans, animals, and insects. Some species may be pathogenic.
Bacteroides Infections
Infections with bacteria of the genus BACTEROIDES.
Year introduced: 1968
Bacteroides fragilis
Gram-negative bacteria occurring in the lower intestinal tracts of man and other animals. It is the most common species of anaerobic bacteria isolated from human soft tissue infections.
Year introduced: 1976
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
A species of Bacteroides that is a major constituent of the human GUT MICROBIOTA. It normally produces enzymes important for the digestion of vegetable matter. However, it can also cause OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS that result in intra-abdominal SEPSIS; BACTEREMIA; and PERITONITIS.
Year introduced: 2017
