Abstract
Using an animal model, a synergism in lethality of infections with Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis is described. This synergism was dependent on certain dosage combinations of the infectious agents. It was demonstrated that animal-passaged, laboratory-passaged, and heat-killed B. fragilis alike were capable of producing this synergism. However, animal-passaged B. fragilis showed superior recovery rates from animal organs.Entities:
