Abstract:
We retrospectively analyzed 300 Fusobacterium infections over 10 years. F. necrophorum caused head and neck infections in younger patients, whereas F. nucleatum was isolated from multiple anatomical sites. F. varium and F. mortiferum were associated with intra-abdominal malignancy, and F. mortiferum showed higher bacteremia rates and poorer prognosis.
