etc. In general, Bacteroides are resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics — ß-lactams, aminoglycosides, and recently many species have acquired resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline. This high level of antibiotic resistance has prompted concerns that Bacteroides species may become a reservoir for resistance in other, more highly-pathogenic bacterial strains.[5] Polysaccharide A (PSA) from this bacteria is reported to be involved in the protection of experimental colitis induced by Helicobacter hepaticus.[7] name="External_links" id="External_links">
