Bacteroides fragilis is part of normal gut flora[1]. It can cause infections in the bloodstream(like after surgery/from disease) but trying to balance it in the gut is a different issue entirely. The 2013 study did show some reduction in autism-like symptoms in mice. And they did another mice study on probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri in 2016 with reduction of autism-like symptoms as well.
