2022年12月11日 · Clinically significant species: B. fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. vulgatus, B. distasonis, B. ovatus, B. uniformis, B. caccae. Antimicrobial susceptibilities: B. fragilis is the most commonly resistant organism, with low rates of resistance (1-2% range) in the U.S. and Europe.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a common bacterium in the human gut microbiome that has evolved alongside humans to support digestion and general health. Over time, this bacterium developed the ability to break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, which helps the host species get more energy from the food it eats.

This infographic on Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt) explores the ability of this microbe to digest a broad array of complex carbohydrates, alter its surface features, and its emerging role in gastrointestinal diseases.

At present, the Bacteroides fragilis group consists of ten species: B. fragilis (the most frequent isolate), B. distasonis, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. vulgatus, B. ovatus, B. eggerrthii, B. merdae, B. stercoris, B. uniformis, and B. caccae.

Between 6–12 months, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is the most prevalent specie; however, other species may increase in number during chilhood. In adults, dietary patterns are the most important factors, and the prevalence of Bacteroides spp. may vary in a …

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a commensal heme auxotroph and representative of this group. Bacteroidetes are sensitive to host dietary iron restriction but proliferate in heme-rich environments that are also associated with colon cancer.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a prominent symbiont of the human distal gut that can degrade a vast array of plant-derived carbohydrates in vitro, and employs about 18% of the genes encoded in its genome for polysaccharide consumption in vivo during colonization of …

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a gut symbiont that inhabits the mucus layer and adheres to and metabolizes food particles, contributing to gut physiology and maturation. Although adhesion and biofilm formation could be key features for B. thetaiotaomicron stress resistance and gut colonization, little is known about the determinants of B ...

2018年9月4日 · This infographic on Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt) explores the ability of this microbe to digest a broad array of complex carbohydrates, alter its surface features, and its emerging role in gastrointestinal diseases.

2011年6月6日 · Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is the second most common infectious anaerobic gram-negative bacteria. It is considered an opportunistic pathogen, frequently associated with peritonitis, septicemia, and wound infections.
