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

Evaluation of experimentally induced Fusobacterium necrophorum infections in mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1977 Two strains of mice, Swiss Webster and DBA/2Cr, were injected intraperitoneally or intravenously with varying dosages of Fusobacterium necrophorum. The ability to eliminate the infection was assessed by quantitative enumeration of the organisms present in the blood, liver, and spleen, Three- to 4-week-old DBA/2Cr mice were highly resistant to both ...

A genome-led study on the pathogenesis of Fusobacterium necrophorum infections
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.

Fusobacterium necrophorum infections in England and Wales 1990–2000 [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2002 In response to a marked increase in both the number of Fusobacterium necrophorum bacteraemia reports to the PHLS Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre and the number of F. necrophorum isolates referred to the PHLS Anaerobe Reference Unit in 1999, the data from both sources on F. necrophorum infections were reviewed for the decade 1990-2000.
