Abstract
Diseases such as cholangitis and sinusitis may be caused by Bacteroides pyogenes, frequently isolated from patients with underlying malignancies. Head and neck infections involving B. pyogenes have high recurrence rates and may require 1–3 months of antibiotic therapy. Careful monitoring and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing these infections.
期刊介绍:
Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes.
Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
