Species code:	BACFR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Bacteroidetes; Bacteroidetes (class); Bacteroidales; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroides (TaxID: 817) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacteroides fragilis is a Gram-negative rod, which represents a large part of the colonic bacteria flora. It is an opportunistic pathogen that can severely limit the success of gastro-intestinal surgery, and is frequently associated with extraintestinal infections such as abscesses and soft tissue infections, as well as diarrheal diseases in animals and humans. (Partially extracted from Karyn's Genomes-EBI).
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BACFR entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 4597 (293 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 4304 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
