| intrageneric relationships of members of the genus fusobacterium as determined by reverse transcriptase sequencing of small-subunit rrna. | the phylogenetic interrelationships of 14 members of the genus fusobacterium were investigated by performing a comparative analysis of the 16s rrna sequences of these organisms. the sequence data revealed considerable intrageneric heterogeneity. the four species fusobacterium nucleatum (including f. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, f. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum, "f. nucleatum subsp. fusiforme," and "f. nucleatum subsp. animalis"), fusobacterium alocis, fusobacterium periodonticum, and fusobacterium ... | 1991 | 1715737 |
| patterns of susceptibility to fluoroquinolones among anaerobic bacterial isolates in the united states. | the activity of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics against anaerobic bacteria has generally been moderate to poor. nalidixic acid and cinoxacin show poor activity against almost all anaerobes. norfloxacin and enoxacin exhibit poor anaerobic activity (mic90, 8- > 256 micrograms/ml) except against clostridium perfringens, bacteroides ureolyticus, and some eubacteria. norfloxacin is slightly more active than enoxacin against some bacteroides species. while ciprofloxacin is more active than earlier flu ... | 1993 | 8324151 |
| helicobacter pylori adheres selectively to fusobacterium spp. | helicobacter pylori strains atcc 43504 and atcc 43629 were tested for their ability to coaggregate with 79 strains of bacteria representing 16 genera. all except two of the strains were of human origin, and most of the strains were isolated from the oral cavity. the helicobacters failed to coaggregate with all strains except the fusobacteria. several coaggregations were partially or completely inhibited by lactose. strong coaggregation was seen with each of four subspecies of fusobacterium nucle ... | 1998 | 9573823 |
| activities of gemifloxacin (sb 265805, lb20304) compared to those of other oral antimicrobial agents against unusual anaerobes. | the activities of gemifloxacin (sb 265805, lb20304) and comparator agents were determined by an agar dilution method against 419 clinical strains of less-commonly identified species of anaerobes. gemifloxacin was generally more active than trovafloxacin against gram-positive strains by one to two dilutions. peptostreptococci (peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus, peptostreptococcus magnus, peptostreptococcus micros, and peptostreptococcus prevotii) and porphyromonas spp. (porphyromonas asaccharol ... | 1999 | 10543754 |
| 16s-23s rdna internal transcribed spacer sequences for analysis of the phylogenetic relationships among species of the genus fusobacterium. | the 16s-23s rdna internal transcribed spacer (its) regions of all currently defined fusobacterium species and related taxa such as leptotrichia buccalis, sebaldella termitidis and streptobacillus moniliformans, were analysed to examine inter- and intraspecies as well as subspecies relationships. for the its-amplification, a new eubacterial universal primer pair was designed and used. the majority of the fusobacterium strains, along with l. buccalis showed one major, and two to three weaker, dist ... | 2002 | 11931161 |
| cancer, stress and personality: a correlational investigation of life-events, repression-sensitization and locus of control. | this study investigated the hypothesis that stress-inducing life experiences and the personality factors of external locus of control and tendency to repress emotion are relevant in the aetiology of cancer. fifty cancer patients scored higher than 50 matched controls on a life-events scale (especially negative events), but were found to be lower on repression of emotion. there was no difference between groups on locus of control. | 2012 | 3401426 |
| characterization of microbial community in the leachate associated with the decomposition of entombed pigs. | foot and mouth disease (fmd) is one of the acute infectious diseases in hoofed and even-toed mammals, including pigs, and it occurs via acute infection by aphthovirus. when fmd is suspected, animals around the location of origin are typically slaughtered and buried. other methods such as rendering, composting, and incineration have not been verified in practice in korea. after the fmd incident, the regular monitoring of the microbial community is required, as microorganisms greatly modify the ch ... | 2012 | 23075782 |
| detection, isolation and characterization of fusobacterium gastrosuis sp. nov. colonizing the stomach of pigs. | nine strains of a novel fusobacterium sp. were isolated from the stomach of 6-8 months old and adult pigs. the isolates were obligately anaerobic, although they endured 2h exposure to air. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna and gyrase b genes demonstrated that the isolates showed high sequence similarity with fusobacterium mortiferum, fusobacterium ulcerans, fusobacterium varium, fusobacterium russii and fusobacterium necrogenes, but formed a distinct lineage in the genus fusobacterium. com ... | 2017 | 27816261 |

| thromboembolic splenic infarction. | splenic infarction occurs as a consequence of systemic thromboembolization in association with several cardiovascular disorders. we describe a case of splenic infarction in a patient who had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after aortic valve replacement. in an autopsy series of 96 consecutive cases of splenic infarction, only 10% had been suspected clinically even though the splenic infarctions had contributed substantially to morbidity and mortality in 44% of the cases. thromboembolic causes wer ... | 2013 | 3773568 |
| identification and characterization of a novel adhesin unique to oral fusobacteria. | fusobacterium nucleatum is a gram-negative anaerobe that is prevalent in periodontal disease and infections of different parts of the body. the organism has remarkable adherence properties, binding to partners ranging from eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to extracellular macromolecules. understanding its adherence is important for understanding the pathogenesis of f. nucleatum. in this study, a novel adhesin, fada (fusobacterium adhesin a), was demonstrated to bind to the surface proteins of th ... | 2005 | 16030227 |
| update on the taxonomy and clinical aspects of the genus fusobacterium. | the genus fusobacterium currently includes 13 species. fusobacterium nucleatum, the most frequently encountered species in humans, is heterogeneous and currently includes 5 subspecies. a potentially new subspecies of f. nucleatum that is intrinsically quinolone-resistant and phylogenetically separate from the other 5 subspecies has been identified from dog and cat oral flora. two subspecies have been described for fusobacterium necrophorum, and a new species, fusobacterium equinum, which is rela ... | 2002 | 12173104 |
| cytotoxicity of fusobacterium ulcerans. | a new species of fusobacterium, f. ulcerans, was isolated from 46 tropical ulcers. all the isolates had shown identical soluble cell protein patterns on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis although there were two morphological types with slightly different biochemical properties. a representative strain of each of the two groups was selected for in- vitro cytotoxicity testing on a range of tissue-culture cell lines. both strains of f. ulcerans induced a marked cytotoxic effect on vero and int-407 ... | 1989 | 2746628 |
| fastidious anaerobe agar compared with wilkins-chalgren agar, brain heart infusion agar, and brucella agar for susceptibility testing of fusobacterium species. | fastidious anaerobe agar supported the growth of 82 strains of fusobacteria better than brain heart infusion agar, brucella agar, and wilkins-chalgren agar. fastidious anaerobe agar showed less hazing and fewer tailing endpoints with beta-lactam antibiotics. whole-blood supplementation improved the performance of all media. wilkins-chalgren agar without blood failed to support the growth of 17% of the strains. all fusobacterium ulcerans strains were resistant to clindamycin. | 1990 | 2073122 |
| biological functions of the water-insoluble fraction of mouse seminal vesicle fluid. i. suppression of the blastogenic response of lymphocytes. | the effects of the water-insoluble fraction of mouse seminal vesicle fluid (wif-svf) on lymphocytes was investigated to clarify its role in reproductive immunity. wif-svf inhibited the blastogenic response of t-cells to concanavalin-a (con-a), but it did not inhibit the blastogenic response of b-cells to lipopolysaccharide (lps). pretreatment of splenocytes with wif-svf did not suppress the blastogenic response of splenocytes to con-a when treated cells were washed prior to culture. wif-svf did ... | 1991 | 1906049 |
| recognition of the bacterial alarmone zmp through long-distance association of two rna subdomains. | the bacterial alarmone 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside 5'-triphosphate (aicar triphosphate or ztp), derived from the monophosphorylated purine precursor zmp, accumulates during folate starvation. ztp regulates genes involved in purine and folate metabolism through a cognate riboswitch. the linker connecting this riboswitch's two subdomains varies in length by over 100 nucleotides. we report the cocrystal structure of the fusobacterium ulcerans riboswitch bound to zmp, which spans the two ... | 2015 | 26280533 |
