Fusobacterium nucleatum and colorectal cancer: A mechanistic overview

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, 2019
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world. There are many risk factors involved in CRC. According to recent findings, the tumor microenvironment and feces samples of patients with CRC are enriched by Fusobacterium nucleatum.

Characterization of Proteolytic Activities of Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Endodontics, 2006
This investigation attempted to detect the proteolytic activity of Fusobacterium nucleatum in living cells, lysate cells, and supernatant of cultures. The reactions were optimized in their pH, temperature, reaction time, enzyme source, and substrate volume.

Pathway of lysine degradation in Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Bacteriology, 1982
Lysine was fermented by Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586 with the formation of about 1 mol each of acetate and butyrate. By the use of [1-14C]lysine or [6-14C]lysine, acetate and butyrate were shown to be derived from both ends of lysine, with acetate being formed preferentially from carbon atoms 1 and 2 and butyrate being formed preferentially from ...

Neutrophil chemiluminescence in response to Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1982
During 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

Fusobacterium nucleatum Endocarditis Mimicking Polymyalgia Rheumatica

Southern Medical Journal, 2009
A case of Fusobacterium nucleatum endocarditis in an 80-year-old man is reported. The patient presented with a headache and nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms and was misdiagnosed as having polymyalgia rheumatica. The diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis was delayed because of an insidious presentation, typical in infections with low virulence micro ...

Fusobacterium nucleatum in endodontic flare-ups

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2002
The extent to which Fusobacterium nucleatum is recovered from root canals of teeth that present with an interappointment flare-up following endodontic instrumentation was investigated.Included in the study were 28 patients that sought emergency treatment after initiation of root canal therapy.

The heat shock response of Fusobacterium nucleatum

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2001
The heat‐shock response of the oral Gram‐negative bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum was examined. Different strains of F. nucleatum were grown at 37°C, 42°C and 48°C in the presence of [35S]methionine. Cellular proteins synthesised after shifts to higher temperatures were analysed by SDS‐PAGE and autoradiography.

Fusobacterium nucleatum: ecology, pathogenesis and clinical implications

Nature Reviews Microbiology
Fusobacterium nucleatum, a commensal microorganism and opportunistic pathogen (a pathobiont), has emerged as a key player in both local and systemic diseases. In humans, F. nucleatum is found in the oral microbiota, but under certain conditions, it can spread to other ecological niches within the body, such as the gut microbiota.
