Fusobacterium nucleatum – Friend or foe?

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2021
Fusobacterium 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.

Genetic Transformation of Fusobacterium nucleatum

2020
Fusobacterium 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.

Fusobacterium nucleatum, a key pathogenic factor and microbial biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Trends in Microbiology, 2022
Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most prevalent cancers, has complex etiology. The dysbiosis of intestinal bacteria has been highlighted as an important contributor to CRC. Fusobacterium nucleatum, an oral anaerobic opportunistic pathogen, is enriched

Antibacterial Fusobacterium nucleatum‐Mimicking Nanomedicine to Selectively Eliminate Tumor‐Colonized Bacteria and Enhance Immunotherapy Against Colorectal Cancer

Advances in Materials, 2023
Clinical evidence indicates that tumor‐colonizing bacteria can be closely related to the tumor development and therapeutic responses. Selectively eliminating bacteria within tumors may be an attractive approach to enhance cancer treatment without ...

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 ...

Delivery of short chain fatty acid butyrate to overcome Fusobacterium nucleatum-induced chemoresistance.

Journal of Controlled Release, 2023
The gut microbiota is closely associated with the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) in which Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) was found to induce cancer resistance to chemotherapeutics. To relieve F.

Amino acid fermentation by Fusobacterium nucleatum

Archives of Oral Biology, 1968
Abstract 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.
