| fusobacterium nucleatum osteomyelitis in 3 previously healthy children: a case series and review of the literature. | fusobacterium nucleatum is a rare cause of monomicrobial osteomyelitis in children. we describe the cases of 3 children with f. nucleatum osteomyelitis of the distal femoral epiphysis with concurrent septic arthritis and review 6 other cases reported in the literature. our report emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for anaerobic osteomyelitis, given its atypical presentation and the unique growth requirements of anaerobic bacteria. | 2015 | 26407282 |
| "messieurs, c'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot": gentlemen, it is the microbes who have the last word (louis pasteur)-fusobacterium nucleatum protect tumors from killing by immune cells. | fusobacterium nucleatum is present in colon cancers where it was shown to generate a proinflammatory microenvironment that supports colorectal neoplasia progression. remarkably, alongside with proinflammatory stimulation, fusobacteria also inhibit cytotoxicity of immune cells. thus, it appears as if tumors exploit fusobacteria to generate a favorable proinflammatory and anti-cytotoxic microenvironment. | 2015 | 26405611 |

| sialic acid transporter nant participates in tannerella forsythia biofilm formation and survival on epithelial cells. | tannerella forsythia is a periodontal pathogen implicated in periodontitis. this gram-negative pathogen depends on exogenous peptidoglycan amino sugar n-acetylmuramic acid (nam) for growth. in the biofilm state the bacterium can utilize sialic acid (neu5ac) instead of nam to sustain its growth. thus, the sialic acid utilization system of the bacterium plays a critical role in the growth and survival of the organism in the absence of nam. we sought the function of a t. forsythia gene annotated as ... | 2016 | 26318875 |
| fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal carcinoma tissue and patient prognosis. | accumulating evidence links the intestinal microbiota and colorectal carcinogenesis. fusobacterium nucleatum may promote colorectal tumour growth and inhibit t cell-mediated immune responses against colorectal tumours. thus, we hypothesised that the amount of f. nucleatum in colorectal carcinoma might be associated with worse clinical outcome. | 2016 | 26311717 |
