High frequency of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis and Enterococcus faecalis in the paraffin-embedded tissues of Iranian colorectal cancer patients

Abstract excerpt

Only a few studies have, however, investigated this relationship directly in colorectal tissue with conflicting results. So, we aimed to quantitate Streptococcus gallolyticus, Fusobacterium spp, Enterococcus faecalis and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE)...
