Genome Sequence and Analysis of the Oral Bacterium <i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> Strain ATCC 25586
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
We present a complete DNA sequence and metabolic analysis of the dominant oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum. Although not considered a major dental pathogen on its own, this anaerobe facilitates the aggregation and establishment of several other species including the dental pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis and Bacteroides forsythus. The F. nucleatum strain ATCC 25586 genome was assembled from shotgun...
