Development of Vaccines to Prevent Wound Infections due to Anaerobic Bacteria

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to summarize the most relevant data we have gathered in relation to Bacteroides fragilis infections. I have excluded many interesting issues from this review because they don't relate to the potential utility of the B. fragilis antigen as a vaccine. Such studies as we have done on B. melaninogenicus, B. thetaiotaomicron and rapid diagnostic methods are included as a prior reports or elsewhere in this report.
