Disease relevance of Bacteroidaceae

• By simultaneously performing broth dilution, agar dilution, and agar diffusion tests with Bacteroidaceae and Peptococcaceae, the influence of methodology upon the outcome of susceptibility testing to cefazolin, cefamandole and cefoxitin was studied [1].
• Cytophaga fermentans and C. xylanolytica belonging to the family Bacteroidaceae contained spermidine [2].
• Susceptibility to cefazedone and cefazolin and production of beta-lactamase in in Bacteroides fragilis and other species of Bacteroidaceae [3].

High impact information on Bacteroidaceae

• Composition of peptidoglycans in Bacteroidaceae: determination and distribution of lanthionine [4].
• Unlike results with most other prokaryotes, but similar to results with other members of the family Bacteroidaceae, NADPH-utilizing specific activity was greatest in all species following ammonia-limited growth [5].
• Antibodies that react with the polysaccharide part of LPSs isolated from members of the Bacteroidaceae are present in healthy human serum [6].
• The susceptibility of 220 fresh clinical isolates of Bacteroidaceae, clostridia and propionibacteria to imipenem, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and four further substances were established by agar dilution tests [7].
• To our knowledge, this is the first paper to report that isolates of the family Bacteroidaceae and the genus Streptococcus produce chitinase and/or beta-GlcNAcase [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Bacteroidaceae

• With beta-lactamase positive and negative Bacteroidaceae, the results of the broth dilution and agar dilution tests were in good agreement for cefoxitin [1].
• Sensitivity of Bacteroidaceae to fosfomycin [9].
• Among the Bacteroidaceae isolated, B. bivius was the most common, followed by other propionate-negative species [10].
• A mesophilic anaerobe, a member of the Bacteroidaceae family (NRC2248), isolated from a cellulose-enrichment culture, digested untreated Whatman cellulose powder and HCl-treated cotton battings while producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, cellobiose, glucose, and acetic acid as the sole volatile acid [11].
