Genomic Diversity of Enterotoxigenic Strains of Bacteroides fragilis.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Pierce Jessica V, Bernstein Harris D

Abstract excerpt

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 at the genomic...
