ABSTRACT

The anaerobic bacteria most frequently isolated from clinical samples were classified in the genus Bacteroides. This review aims to conduct a brief update on clinical strains associated with this bacteria, the infection’s epidemiology, virulence factors and pathogenic mechanisms described for this bacterial group, their isolation, identification, characterization and the current taxonomy, a brief description of the therapeutic management. In addition, it provides novel aspects on the immunology and the host-interaction of these anaerobic bacteria with the humans. With this contribution is expected to provide theoretical foundations for health professionals and researchers in Latin America consider the Bacteroides genus in presumptive diagnoses and encourage the development of clinical anaerobic bacteriology in Latin America.
