Characterization of Bacteroides fragilis Strains
using, respectively, the commercial QIAmp DNA Stool Mini Kit and QIAmp DNA Mini Kit
(QIAGEN), according to the manufacturer's instructions. DNA was stored at −80 °C
until use.
The presence of B. fragilis in the fecal samples was detected by PCR
amplification with 16S rRNA primers. DNA from the bacterial isolates was amplified
with 16S-23S rRNA primers. All DNA samples positive for B. fragiliswere screened for the presence of ETBF and/or NTBF sequences. The oligonucleotide
pairs and amplification conditions used are described in
All PCR assays were performed as follows: 1X PCR buffer, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.2
mM dNTP mix, 0.4 mM each primer, 0.5 U of Platinum Taq polymerase
(Invitrogen), and 1 ng of DNA. PCR products were analyzed by 1% agarose gel
electrophoresis, stained with 0.5 μg/mL of ethidium bromide and photographed under UV
light.
B. fragilis ATCC 43858 (ETBF pattern I, bft+) and ATCC 25285 (NTBF pattern III, bft-) were used, respectively, as positive and negative controls. The other
strains used as controls were: B. thetaiotaomicron ATCC 29741,
B. vulgatus ATCC 8482, B. caccae ATCC 43185,
B. ovatus ATCC 8483, B. eggerthii ATCC 27754,
B. uniformis ATCC 8492, B. stercoris ATCC 43183,
Parabacteroides distasonis ATCC 8503, and P.
merdae ATCC 43184.
Anaerobic Culture of Bacteroides Species
Bacteroides species were grown in Tryptone Yeast Glucose broth (TYG) [16 (link)] in an anaerobic chamber (37°C, 5% CO2, 5% H2 and 90% N2) and included B. caccae ATCC 43185T, B. dorei JCM 13471, B. eggerthii ATCC 27754, B. fragilis NCTC 9343, B. finegoldii JCM13345, B. intestinalis JCM 13265, P. merdae ATCC 43184, B. ovatus JCM 5824, B. sartorii A-C2-0, B. stercoris ATCC 43183, B. thetaiotaomicron VPI 5482, B. uniformis JCM 5828T, and B. vulgatus ATCC 8482. Non-Bacteroides species included Prevotella stercorea JCM 13469T grown using Peptone Yeast Glucose broth (PYG, DSMZ Medium 104) and Escherichia coli grown in Luria Bertani broth (LB, BD 244620).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
