Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fusobacterium nucleatum is a pathogenic oral bacterium that is linked to multiple human infections and colorectal cancer. While most Gram-negative pathogens utilize secretion systems for cellular invasion and infection, F. nucleatum lacks Type I, II, III, IV, and VI secretion. By contrast, F. nucleatum strains are enriched in Type V secreted autotransporters, which are Gram-negative bacterial...
