Fusobacterium bloodstream infections: A literature review and hospital-based case series.

CONCLUSION: Although FBB is rarely reported in the literature, this case series and review of the literature suggests it is associated with morbidity and mortality. The type and duration of therapy used in these cases are underreported. Further research is needed to determine the most appropriate screening approach for FBB-associated complications and explore the relationship between FBB and specific malignancies, as well as optimal treatment type and duration.
