Abstract

Abstract: We report a case caused by a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Bacteroides fragilis strain isolated from abdominal fluid of a male patient with complex underlying diseases. The patient had received antibiotics prior to the presented case. As far as we know, this case with a MDR B. fragilis is the first from Hungary, and Eastern-Europe, as well. Highlights: Multidrug resistant Bacteroides sp. is rare clinical pathogen worldwide. We presented a case report of MDR Bacteroides fragilis strain. The presence of cfiA -IS 1187 and the presence of nimA -IS 1168 on a 11 kb plasmid are infrequent.
