Pathogenic synergy between Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis: studies in an experimental mouse model. 1985

An animal model is described for quantitative evaluation of pathogenic synergy between Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis in which adjuvants were not required for abscess formation. Two sets of strains of E. coli and B. fragilis isolated from human wound infections were tested. Pathogenic synergy was observed in only one of the two combinations and was dependent on properties of E. coli.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
