Genomics and virulence factors of Fusobacterium necrophorum
Fusobacterium necrophorum, a Gram negative, anaerobic bacterium, is a common cause of acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis and a rare cause of more severe infections of the head and neck. At the beginning of the project, there was no available genome sequence for F. necrophorum. The aim of this …

"A syndrome so characteristic" Molecular and clinical studies of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Lemierre's syndrome
Lemierre’s syndrome is caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and involves tonsillitis, jugular vein thrombophlebitis and septic pulmonary emboli. The first studies underlying this thesis focused on bacterial interaction with coagulation. The contact system initiates the intrinsic pathway of …

Understanding the role of different strain types of Fusobacterium necrophorum: biofilms, glycans and metabolic pathways
Fusobacterium necrophorum an obligate Gram-negative anaerobe has been implicated in the cause of persistent severe throat infections and the systemic life-threatening Lemierre’s syndrome; a potentially fatal periodontal disease, which results in abscess formation in the tonsils. The use of …

Biofilm-derived Small Molecules Released from Mixed-species Cultures of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Porphyromonas levii Inhibit Bovine Neutrophil Functional Responses
… infections in cattle, humans, and other animals. Fusobacterium necrophorum and Porphyromonas levii are two species of anaerobic, Gram-negative, opportunistic pathogens that have been described as etiological agents in a variety of necrotic, recalcitrant infections. With antimicrobial resistance on …

Neutrophil Responses to Mixed-Species Anaerobic Biofilms
… composed of two opportunistic pathogens, Fusobacterium necrophorum and Porphyromonas levii and measure neutrophil responses. Neutrophils are a vital component of the innate immune system and the results show that neutrophils exposed to mixed-species planktonic bacteria exhibit a more …

Impact of early postpartum uterine disease (metritis) on the functional regeneration of endometrial glands in lactating dairy cows
… bacteria within the postpartum uterus (i.e. Fusobacterium necrophorum; Bacteroides spp.; T. pyogenes), treatment options for cows diagnosed with metritis rely mostly on the administration of systemic antibiotic drugs (e.g. ceftiofur), which have been demonstrated to efficiently alleviate the …
