Epidemiology and Clinical Outcomes of Fusobacterium Infections: A Six-Year Retrospective Study [PDF]

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Anaerobic bacteria like Fusobacterium can lead to severe and life-threatening infections. The inherent complexities in the isolation of these bacteria may result in diagnostic and therapeutic delays, thereby escalating both ...

Fusobacterium necrophorum associated with pelvic infections: A case series and literature review

IDCases
Fusobacterium necrophorum is a gram-negative anaerobic bacillus most commonly implicated in oropharyngeal infections and their subsequent complications, including septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, or Lemierre syndrome.

Primary meningitis due to Fusobacterium nucleatum successfully treated with ceftriaxone in a healthy adult male

IDCases, 2019
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a rod-shaped gram-negative obligate anaerobe; this organism, and other anaerobes, are usually not a part of the culture performed for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample. To date, four cases of Fusobacterium meningitis in adults

Fusobacterium emphysematous pyomyositis with necrotizing fasciitis of the leg presenting as compartment syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Fusobacterium necrophorum is a common agent of disease in humans, but the occurrence of primary infections outside the head and neck area is extremely rare.

A genome-led study on the pathogenesis of Fusobacterium necrophorum infections [PDF]

Gene, 2022
Fusobacterium necrophorum causes a range of mild to life threatening infections and there is uncertainty in terms of diagnosis and treatment due to the lack of knowledge on their pathogenic mechanisms. This study characterised genomes of F. necrophorum to compare their virulence factors and investigate potential infection markers.

Cryptogenic Pyogenic Liver Abscess Due to Fusobacterium nucleatum in an Immunocompetent Patient [PDF]

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
In this case, a 76-year-old female presented with 3–4 days of fever with no other localizing signs. Notably, she had had an untreated Fusobacterium bacteraemia approximately 8 weeks prior to admission. She underwent abdominal imaging which demonstrated a

Integrating ANI and phylogenies for re-evaluation of Fusobacterium taxonomy and disease associations [PDF]

Nature Communications
The genus Fusobacterium encompasses significant pathogens implicated in diseases spanning from infections to cancer. However, taxonomic ambiguities persist within the genus, particularly concerning Fusobacterium nucleatum (sensu lato). Through genus-wide

Differences in mortality in Fusobacterium necrophorum and Fusobacterium nucleatum infections detected by culture and 16S rRNA gene sequencing [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2018
Fusobacterium species are components of the normal microbiota of the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract. They are increasingly recognized as causative agents of oral, laryngeal, and tonsillar infections. Several fusobacterial species are involved in infections, with F. necrophorum and F.
