A Survey of Recent Advances in Genetic Engineering in Bacteroides

  • Chapter
Book cover Microbiology and Biochemistry of Strict Anaerobes Involved in Interspecies Hydrogen Transfer

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 54))

Abstract

Anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus Bacteroides are the predominant inhabitants of the gastro-intestinal tracts of man and mammals. Some species are common members of the human oral flora, and others are living in the rumen ecosystem. According to the Bergey’s manual of determinative bacteriology and recent reports, 50 Bacteroides species have been identified, some of which being sufficiently divergent to be subject to reclassification proposals (Holdeman et al., 1984; Okuda et al., 1985; Jensen and Canale-Parola, 1986; Shah and Collins, 1988; Montgomery et al., 1988). Several species such as Bacteroides fragilis are known as opportunistic pathogens able to colonize lesions of their natural host, leading to formation of abscesses or blood stream infections (Salyers, 1984). On the other hand, black-pigmented Bacteroides species such as Bacteroides gingivalis are true pathogens of the oral cavity (Mayrand and Holt, 1988), whereas Bacteroides nodosus is the causative agent of ovine footrot (Elleman and Hoyne, 1984).
