Fusobacterium nucleatum – Friend or foe?
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2021Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is one of the most abundant Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, part of the gut, and oral commensal flora, generally found in human dental plaque. Its presence could be associated with various human diseases, including, e.g., periodontal, angina, lung and gynecological abscesses.

Biosynthesis of meso-lanthionine in Fusobacterium nucleatum
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2023The opportunistic oral pathogen, Fusobacterium nucleatum contains meso-lanthionine as the diaminodicarboxylic acid in the pentapeptide crosslink of the peptidoglycan layer. The diastereomer, l,l-lanthionine is formed by lanthionine synthase, a PLP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the β-replacement of l-cysteine with a second equivalent of l-cysteine. In

Genetic Transformation of Fusobacterium nucleatum
2020Fusobacterium nucleatum is a human periodontal pathogen that causes opportunistic infections. It has been implicated in preterm birth and has as a pathogen of colorectal cancer. However, it is a common member of the oral microbiota and can have a symbiotic relationship with its hosts. To date, studies of F.

Amino acid fermentation by Fusobacterium nucleatum
Archives of Oral Biology, 1968Abstract Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fusobacterium fusiforme) is a weakly saccharolytic gram negative anaerobic rod which is indigenous to the oral cavity of man. This organism fermented aspartate, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, histidine, lysine, methionine, serine and threonine forming butyrate and acetate as the main acid end products.

ABSTRACT This article describes an uncommon presentation of a subdural empyema in a young man. Because the patient's initial presentation consisted of nonspecific abdominal complaints, subdural empyema was not initially considered. However, a thorough medical history, including recent travel history, and appropriate multidisciplinary ...

Neutrophil chemiluminescence in response to Fusobacterium nucleatum
Journal of Periodontal Research, 1982During the interaction of bacteria or other particles with neutrophils, oxygen consumption is increased, and unstable reduction products are produced. Chemiluminescence is the light energy produced in the neutrophil by the generation of unstable oxygen radicals. These oxygen radicals are thought to be important in the destruction of bacteria as well as

Desulfuration of Cysteine and Methionine by Fusobacterium nucleatum
Journal of Dental Research, 1986Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium frequently isolated from human dental plaque. It is capable of the desulfuration of cysteine and methionine, resulting in the formation of sulfide and thiol volatiles, respectively. Intact cells, as well as cell-free extracts produced by French pressure cell lysis of F. nucleatum,

Myocardial infection due to Fusobacterium nucleatum
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2013Fusobacterium nucleatum is an anaerobic gram-negative bacillus, which inhabits the oropharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract. Infections classically affect the head and neck. We report a patient with a myocardial mass due to F. nucleatum, initially thought to be a neoplasm, and discuss anaerobic cardiac infections.
