Aucher, J. Saunier, G. Grollier, M. Sebald, J. Fauchère] An enterotoxigenic strain ofBacteroides fragilis was the sole organism isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a two-and-a-half-month neonate who had a medullary-colonic fistula as part of a complex congenital malformation, but no brain abscess. A rapid latex particle agglutination test for detection of bacterial antigen was positive forHaemophilus influenzae type b, suggesting thatBacteroides fragilis andHaemophilus influenzae type b might share some capsular antigens. In order to determine the role of the enterotoxin with respect to virulence of the strain, antibodies to a 20 kDa protein were sought in the patient's serum, but Western blot of the culture supernatant revealed only antibodies to a 45 kDa bacterial protein. The patient was successfully treated with metronidazole and imipenem. Springer-Verlag, 1996 Aucher P.
