Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. animalis comes to the spotlight in oral diseases

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Apr 10;32(4):443-444. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.03.009.ABSTRACTKrieger et al.'s study in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe reveals that Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. animalis strains, previously underestimated, are significant in disease-affected oral areas. This challenges the long-held notion of the dominance of Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, reshaping our understanding of Fusobacterium distribution in the oral microbiome.PMID:38604121 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2024.03.009
