The respiratory enzyme complex Rnf is vital for metabolic adaptation and virulence in Fusobacterium nucleatum
7 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The Gram-negative oral pathobiont Fusobacterium nucleatum can traverse to extra-oral sites such as placenta and colon, promoting adverse pregnancy outcomes and colorectal cancer, respectively. How this anaerobe sustains many metabolically changing environments enabling its virulence potential remains unclear. Informed by our genome-wide transposon mutagenesis, we report here that the highly conserved R...
