Bacteroides ureolyticus is a species in the bacterial

meso-diaminopimelic acid in their peptidoglycan layer.[citation needed
]

Bacteroides are normally

gastrointestinal flora,[2] and they process complex molecules into simpler ones.[3][4][5] As many as 1010-1011 cells per gram of human feces have been reported.[6] They can use simple sugars when available; however, the main sources of energy for Bacteroides species in the gut are complex host-derived and plant glycans.[7]

Pathophysiology

Bacteroides ureolyticus has been isolated from pregnant women with symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.[8]
