More Than Just a Periodontal Pathogen –the Research Progress on Fusobacterium nucleatum

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a common oral opportunistic bacterium that can cause
different infections. In recent years, studies have shown that F. nucleatum is enriched in
lesions in periodontal diseases, halitosis, dental pulp infection, oral cancer, and systemic
diseases. Hence, it can promote the development and/or progression of these conditions.
The current study aimed to assess research progress in the epidemiological evidence,
possible pathogenic mechanisms, and treatment methods of F. nucleatum in oral and
systemic diseases. Novel viewpoints obtained in recent studies can provide knowledge
about the role of F. nucleatum in hosts and a basis for identifying new methods for the
diagnosis and treatment of F. nucleatum-related diseases.
