Bacteroides pelvic inflammatory disease

Bacteroides pelvic inflammatory disease is an upper female genital tract infection involving obligate anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Bacteroides*, most notably *Bacteroides fragilis* Clinically characterized by lower abdominal or pelvic pain, cervical motion tenderness, and uterine or adnexal tenderness, *Bacteroides* involvement is strongly associated with bacterial vaginosis, tissue destruction, and abscess formation such as tubo-ovarian abscesses

It primarily affects sexually active females and typically presents as a polymicrobial, ascending infection from the lower reproductive tract to the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic peritoneum Clinically characterized by lower abdominal or pelvic pain, cervical motion tenderness, and uterine or adnexal tenderness, *Bacteroides* involvement is strongly associated with bacterial vaginosis, tissue destruction, and abscess formation such as tubo-ovarian abscesses
