Clinical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of Fusobacterium species isolated over 10  years at a Japanese university hospital

CONCLUSION: We show a link between Fusobacterium species and solid organ malignancies. We observed resistance to penicillin, cefmetazole, clindamycin, and moxifloxacin, warranting caution in their clinical use. This study offers valuable insights for managing Fusobacterium infections and guiding empirical treatments.PMID:38112966 | DOI:10.1007/s10096-023-04734-2
