Acute Appendicitis in Children Is Associated With a Local Expansion of Fusobacteria

7 Apr 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lumenal obstruction has typically been regarded as the cause of acute appendicitis (AA). Recent evidence including data from "antibiotics first" trials suggests that this disease may result from invasion of the appendix by specific pathogens. Small studies have identified an abundance of bacteria from the genus Fusobacterium in appendixes from patients with AA. We aimed to validate these findings in a...
