Highly sensitive stool DNA testing of <i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> as a marker for detection of colorectal tumours in a Japanese population

Abstract excerpt

Background Accumulating evidence shows an over-abundance of Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal tumour tissues. Although stool DNA testing of Fusobacterium nucleatum might be a potential marker for the detection of colorectal tumours, the difficulty in detecting Fusobacterium nucleatum in stool by conventional methods prevented further explorations. Therefore, we developed a droplet digital polymerase chain...
