Fusobacterium

Pneumonia owing to aspiration of oral contents is caused by a variety of anaerobes (Bacteroides spp., Fusobacterium spp., Prevotella spp., and anaerobic gram-positive cocci), as well as Streptococcus spp. M. catarrhalis and Eikenella corrodens may be involved, but much less frequently.14,15 When gastric contents are aspirated, then enteric gram-negative bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus are more commonly the pathogens.15...

In general, there has been good agreement between PyMS-derived classification results and results from standard taxonomic methods. This agreement was seen from comparative studies on Carnobacterium,57 Fusobacterium,5s Pep-tostreptococcus,59 Photobacterium,60 Prevotella,61 Rothia,62 Streptococcus,63 and Streptomyces.m PyMS was also used, together with molecular and numerical... 

Infections caused by these injuries are most often caused by the normal oral flora, which includes both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. The most frequent aerobic organisms are Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Eikenella corrodens. The most common anaerobic organisms are Fusobacterium, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, and Peptostreptococcus spp.

A similar distribution of fatty acids has also been detected in lipid A of other bacteria (Fig. 5). Thus, in Fusobacterium nucleatum, 2 moles of (R)-3-OH-14 0 are ester-bound, one of which is 3-O-acylated by 14 0. In amide linkage, (R)-3-0(14 0)-16 0 is present. In Vibrio cholerae, a dimer of (R)-3-OH-12 0 is bound as an ester while (R)-3-0-(14 0)-14 0 and (R)-3-0-(16 0)-14 0 are amide-linked. The lipid A component of Chromobacterium violaceum possesses 2 moles of (R)-3-OH-10 0 in ester linkage. The amide-bound acyl groups are represented by (R)-3-0H-12 0 residues which are 3-0-acylated by 12 0 and (S)-2-OH-12 0. In P. mirabilis, 3-0H-14 0 is, like in Salmonella, ester-and amide-bound. In this case, however, exclusively 14 0 substitutes the 3-hydroxyl groups of both 0- and N-linked 3-OH-14 0. 

The colon contains about 400 different species of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria.15 The most common anaerobes in the colon are Bifidobacterium spp., Eubacterium spp., Peptostreptococcus spp., Fusobacterium spp., and Bacteroides spp. The most common aerobe in the colon is Escherichia coli.16,17 Colonic bacteria are involved in the synthesis of B complex vitamins and a majority of vitamin K.18...
