NOVEL APPROACH FOR EVALUATION OF BACTEROIDES FRAGILIS PROTECTIVE ROLE AGAINST BARTONELLA HENSELAE LIVER DAMAGE IN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED MURINE MODEL

NOVEL APPROACH FOR EVALUATION OF BACTEROIDES FRAGILIS PROTECTIVE ROLE AGAINST BARTONELLA HENSELAE LIVER DAMAGE IN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED MURINE MODEL

Bartonella henselae is a gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium and is the causative agent of cat scratch disease. Our previous data have established that Bacteroides fragilis colonization is able to prevent B. henselae damages through the polysaccharide A (PSA) in an experimental murine...
