Genetic- and culture-based tools for studying <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i>
The relatively limited availability of genetic tools has hampered mechanistic studies of <i>Bacteroides fragilis,</i> an opportunistic anaerobe that constitutes 1%-5% of the gut microbiota in healthy humans. Here we describe novel vectors for <i>B. fragilis</i> gene deletion and expression as well as a semi-defined media for cultivation of <i>B. fragilis</i> str. P207.
