Fusobacterium bacteria, computer illustration. Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-motile rod-shaped prokaryotes (characterized by a long, slender shape and pointed ends). Human microbiota (of the mouth and upper respiratory tract), susceptible to penicillin. Occasional cause of abscesses and blood infections. Possible role in periodontal disease and respiratory infections. The most common species recovered from patients are F. nucleatum and F. necrophorum.
