Fusobacterium

Fusobacterium is a genus of anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria naturally found in the human oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and sometimes in the vaginal flora. While some species may exist as part of a normal microbiome, Fusobacterium is also known for its association with inflammation and infection. High levels in the gut have been linked to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. Its presence is often considered a marker of microbial imbalance or pathogenic overgrowth, especially when found alongside symptoms like bloating or altered bowel habits.
