The exposure of B. fragilis to highly oxygenated tissues induces an oxidative stress due to a shift from the reduced condition of the gastrointestinal tract to an aerobic environment of host tissues. The potent and effective responses to reactive oxygen species (ROS) make the B. fragilis tolerant to atmospheric oxygen for several days. The response to oxidative stress in B. fragilis is a complicated event that is induced and regulated by different agents. In this review, we will focus on the B. fragilis response to oxidative stress and present an overview of the regulators of responses to oxidative stress in this bacterium.
