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

Lemierre syndrome presenting as acute mastoiditis in a 2-year-old girl with congenital dwarfism

Infectious Disease Reports, 2015
Lemierre syndrome is defined by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein caused by Fusobacterium. Historically, these infections originate from the oropharynx and typically are seen in older children, adolescents and young adults.

Antagonistic interaction between two key endodontic pathogens Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023
Background Endodontic infections are known to be caused by pathogenic bacteria. Numerous previous studies found that both Fusobacterium nucleatum and Enterococcus faecalis are associated with endodontic infections, with Fusobacterium nucleatum more ...

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.

Enhancement of the infectivity ofFusobacterium necrophorumby other bacteria [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1989
SUMMARYNecrobacillosis is caused byFusobacterium necrophorum(FN), but other organisms are often present in the lesions. Their possible role was studied in experiments made with a virulent FN strain which, by itself, produced fatal necrobacillosis in mice provided that large doses ( > 106organisms, subcutaneously) were given.

Lemierre's syndrome: A forgotten and re-emerging infection

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2020
Lemierre's syndrome, also known as post-anginal septicemia or necrobacillosis, is characterized by bacteremia, internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis, and metastatic septic emboli secondary to acute pharyngeal infections.

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.
