An aminopeptidase nutritionally important to Fusobacterium nucleatum [PDF]

Microbiology, 1998
The properties of an aminopeptidase (AP) from Fusobacterium nucleatum were studied in view of the fact that this organism, along with other Gram-negative anaerobes involved in periodontal diseases, survives in the subgingival environment by obtaining energy via the fermentation of a small number of peptide-derived amino acids.

Carcinogenesis mechanisms of Fusobacterium nucleatum

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2017
Transformed cells of cancers may be related to stromal cells, immune cells, and some bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum. This review aimed to evaluate carcinogenesis mechanisms of Fusobacterium spp. in the oral cavity, pancreatic and colorectal cancers. These cancers are the three of the ten most prevalence cancer in the worldwide.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Causes Microbial Dysbiosis and Exacerbates Visceral Hypersensitivity in a Colonization-Independent Manner

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Background: Microbial dysbiosis is closely associated with visceral hypersensitivity and is involved in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but the specific strains that play a key role have yet to be identified.

Unveiling the etiology of peritonsillar abscess using next generation sequencing

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2023
Background Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a severe deep neck space infection with an insufficiently characterized bacterial etiology. We aimed to reveal the bacteria associated with PTA applying next generation sequencing (NGS).

Autoaggregation Response of Fusobacterium nucleatum [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT Fusobacterium nucleatum is a gram-negative oral bacterial species associated with periodontal disease progression. This species is perhaps best known for its ability to adhere to a vast array of other bacteria and eukaryotic cells. Numerous studies of F. nucleatum have examined various

Commensalism of Fusobacterium nucleatum - The dilemma

Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium that serves as a periodontal pathogen and plays a key role in linking Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within the periodontal biofilm. It was shown that Fusobacterium produces significant amounts of butyric acid, which is a great source of energy for ...
