Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm far from any sort of probiotic expert, but I don't think they are the same. Oddly, when I googled B.fragilis, I find articles that say it benefits the host, but also talk about "treatment for it" (or else I'm not understanding). http://www.anaesthetist.com/icu/infect/bacteria/anaerobe/Findex.htm#bfrag.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteroides http://www.ebi.ac.uk/2can/genomes/bacteria/Bacteroides_fragilis.html http://bacteroidesfragilis.com/ Sally Adam ow wrote: very interesting, thanks. i wonder if B. fragilis is bifidus. adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
