“…The insertion of an IS element may be responsible for the increased expression of the cfiA gene product [22]. Carbapenem resistance in BFG bacteria is infrequently reported [5,7,8,23,24,25]. The first imipenem-resistant B. fragilis strain was isolated in Marmara University Hospital in 1999, in Istanbul, Turkey [22].…”

“…Clindamycin resistance in BFG bacteria is an arising problem and the resistance rates from various countries are reported between 24% and 56% [ 2,5,7,8,21,28]. High level resistance to clindamycin in BFG bacteria is mediated by 23S rRNA methylase coded by different erm M A N U S C R I P T…”

“…Within BFG, there are about 30 species some of which are in a separate genus Parabacteroides [1]. Different and increasing antimicrobial resistance patterns of BFG bacteria are reported from geographically different areas [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Horizontal spread of antibiotic resistance among BFG clinical isolates is due to antimicrobial resistance genes carried on conjugative and mobilizable plasmids, conjugative transposones and integrated genetic elements [9].…”

“…Fusobacteriae remain highly susceptible to beta-lactams. Studies on susceptibility patterns have shown no increase in amoxicillin-resistant Fusobacteriae over the past decade [22–24]. They are unlikely to be accompanied by highly resistant co-pathogens in polymicrobial infection of oral or periodontal origin.…”

BackgroundFusobacteriae are facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacilli which cause a range of invasive infections, amongst which pyogenic liver abscesses are rare. We describe a case of Fusobacterium nucleatum liver abscess and review the relevant literature.Case presentationA 51-year-old lady presented with a 4-day history of abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, rigors, and lethargy. Imaging revealed an abscess which was drained. Cultures of the blood and abscess aspirate grew Fusobacterium nucleatum and Prevotella pleuritidis respectively. She achieved full recovery following treatment.A MEDLINE search was undertaken using free-text and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), keywords “Fusobacterium” and “Liver abscess”. Non-English language reports and cases without confirmed growth of Fusobacterium species were excluded. Additional cases were identified by surveying the references of each report and by using the same keywords in a web-based search.Forty-eight cases were identified, 41 in men. The median age was 42.5, with an interquartile range of 33. F. nucleatum and F. necrophorum were in involved in 22 cases each, and 4 cases were not further speciated. Among cases of F. nucleatum liver abscess, nine were attributed to periodontal disease, four to lower gastrointestinal tract disease, one to Lemierre’s Syndrome, and eight were considered cryptogenic. All patients treated made a full recovery. Antimicrobial treatment duration ranged from 2 weeks to 6 months with a median of 6 weeks.ConclusionFusobacterium nucleatum is an uncommon cause of liver abscess generally associated with good clinical outcomes with contemporary medical and surgical care.

“…In fact it was lowest among B. fragilis(25.75%) and highest in the case of B. thetaiotaomicron(55.7%). Others have reported a clindamycin resistance rate of between 27 and 37.6%[78,107,108]. We found that clindamycin resistance displayed a relatively strong geographical difference, which is concordant with the results published byNagy et al: in the Southern European countries the mean rate of clindamycin resistant strains was 37.6%; however, in Northern Europe it was found to be 81.4%[78].…”
