New York University School of Law has committed itself to legal education for a global economy, and the International Tax Program (ITP) is an important component of that commitment. Working side by side with colleagues from the United States and other countries, students in the ITP will study international taxation in from a global perspective.
Bacteroides fragilis is one of the most common causes of anaerobic infective endocarditis, although overall quite rare. It is usually associated with large valvular vegetations and peripheral embolization (38). Thrombophlebitis and congestive heart failure are common complications as well (73).
Anaerobic bacteria are germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen. For example, it can thrive in human tissue that is injured and does not have oxygen-rich blood flowing to it. Infections like tetanus and gangrene are caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic infections typically cause abscesses (buildups of pus), and death of tissue. Many anaerobic bacteria produce enzymes that destroy tissue and, sometimes, potent toxins. Besides bacteria, some protozoans and worms are also anaerobic.
