Differentiation of Bacteroides fragilis species by gas chromatographic detection of phenylacetic acid.
نویسنده
چکیده
Of 382 strains tested, 261 strains of the species Bacteroides fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. ovatus, and B. distasonis produced phenylacetic acid; the remaining strains, belonging exclusively to the species B. vulgatus, failed to do so. This differentiation characteristic may be useful in routine clinical bacteriology.

Bacteroides species are nearly half of the fecal flora community and some are host symbionts crucial to host nutrition and systemic immunity. Among Bacteroides species B. fragilis strains are considered to be the opportunistic ones, being the most isolated anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples. Cell-free supernatants of 65 B. fragilis strains were assayed and they were capable of inducing vacu...

متن کاملDifferentiation of Bacteroides ovatus and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron by means of bacteriophage.
Two members of the Bacteroides fragilis group, B. ovatus and B. thetaiotaomicron, are difficult to distinguish by biochemical methods. They are currently identified on the basis of their variable ability to ferment salicin. We studied a method of identification for these two species by using cell lysis by bacteriophages. A total of 38 bacteriophages were used to distinguish the two species. Ide...

Sixty samples of pleural fluid from 52 patients were subjected to direct gas-liquid chromatographic studies, and results were correlated with findings from microbiologic cultures. Fourteen patients had anaerobic empyema, 22 had aerobic infections, and 16 had sterile pleural effusions. Multiple volatile fatty acids or succinic acid or both were found as markers of anaerobic infection in all but ...
