Cancerous tissue is a largely unexplored microbial niche that provides unique environment for the colonization and growth of specific bacterial communities, with it, opportunity to identify novel species. Here, we report distinct features Fusobacterium species, F. sphaericum sp. nov. (Fs), isolated from primary colon adenocarcinoma tissue. We acquire complete closed genome associated methylome this organism phylogenetically confirm its classification into genus, perfoetens as closest...

Abstract Background: Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), an oral commensal involved in a wide spectrum of infections, has recently been implicated colorectal cancer (CRC) etiology. However, the role Fn treatment-naïve CRC patients remains unclear. Therefore, we assessed whether abundance is associated with clinicopathologic characteristics among enrolled prospective ColoCare Study. Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was used to amplify and detect DNA fecal samples collected prior surgery from 105...
