- Abstract
Experiments on the intraperitoneal infection of F1 (CBA X C57BL/6) mice with bacteroids of the group Fragilis in combination with E. coli have revealed the presence of a synergic effect leading to more pronounced (greater frequency of abscess formation) and even qualitatively new (necrotic lesions of the liver) pathological changes in comparison with those observed in monoinfections. Bacteroides fragilis strain 1/1087 gamma has been shown to have greater virulence than that of Bacteroides vulgaris strain 18; their virulence was determined from the capacity of microorganisms for survival in the abdominal cavity of mice, as well as from their capacity for inducing the formation of necrotic lesions and abscesses.
