چکیده
Here we present the complete genome sequence of Bacteroides fragilis isolate BOB25. It is an enterotoxigenic isolate that was obtained from a stool sample of a patient with dysbiosis.

Enterotoxigenic and non-enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from fecal microbiota of children
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an important part of the human and animal intestinal microbiota and is commonly associated with diarrhea. ETBF strains produce an enterotoxin encoded by the bft gene located in the B. fragilis pathogenicity island (BfPAI). Non-enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (NTBF) strains lack the BfPAI and usually show two different genetic patterns, II and III, base...
متن کاملGenomic Diversity of Enterotoxigenic Strains of Bacteroides fragilis
Enterotoxigenic (ETBF) strains of Bacteroides fragilis are the subset of strains that secrete a toxin called fragilysin (Bft). Although ETBF strains are known to cause diarrheal disease and have recently been associated with colorectal cancer, they have not been well characterized. By sequencing the complete genome of four ETBF strains, we found that these strains exhibit considerable variation...
متن کاملDistinct Interactions with Cellular E-Cadherin of the Two Virulent Metalloproteinases Encoded by a Bacteroides fragilis Pathogenicity Island
Bacteroides fragilis causes the majority of Gram-negative anaerobic infections in the humans. The presence of a short, 6-kb, pathogenicity island in the genome is linked to enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF). The role of the enterotoxin in B. fragilis virulence, however, remains to be determined, as the majority of clinical isolates lack ETBF genes and healthy individuals carry enterotoxin-posi...
متن کاملGenetic and structural analysis of the Bacteroides conjugative transposon CTn341.
The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. The element was 51,993 bp long, which included a 5-bp coupling sequence that linked the transposon ends in the circular form. There were 46 genes, and the corresponding gen...
متن کاملDetermination of bft gene subtypes in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates.
A rapid multiplex PCR approach was developed to detect the bft gene subtypes in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates. This technique could be used to look at the epidemiology of enterotoxigenic strains of B. fragilis in clinical infections and whether there is a correlation between disease and the presence of B. fragilis enterotoxin.
