Introduction
Bacteroides fragilis (BF) is a Gram-negative bacterium found in the human colon [1]. It is responsible for a large number of opportunistic infections in hospitals and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality [2]. In addition to opportunistic infections, BF has been known to cause complications such as colorectal cancer and cholitis. [3] This bacterium is of interest to researchers because of its ability to evade immune responses and evolving drug resistance.
