Polymerase chain reaction-amplified nonradioactive probes for identification of Fusobacterium nucleatum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polymerase chain reaction probe with 100% sequence identity to 120 deoxyribonucleotides of Fusobacterium nucleatum Fev1, coding for a part of the 40-kDa major outer membrane protein, was labeled with the steroid hapten digoxigenin. The probe was compared with various degenerate oligonucleotide probes and found to tolerate much more stringent washing conditions. It was therefore superior in distinguishing, by means of Southern blots and slot blots, F. nucleatum from other oral gram-negative bacteria in the periodontal pocket and from other fusobacterial species and in distinguishing among different strains of F. nucleatum. F. periodonticum was found to be more similar to F. nucleatum than the other fusobacterial species tested.

Oral and middle ear infections are biofilm related infections. Fusobacterium nucleatum is considered to be a key species in dental biofilm formation. The aim of this study was to compare conventional and real-time PCR, for the detection of F. nucleatum in saliva, nasopharyngeal secretion and middle ear effusion samples. Sixty samples were collected from 20 patients with otitis media with effusi...

The human microbiome Fusobacterium nucleatum, which primarily inhabits the oral cavity, causes periodontal disease and has also been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer. However, whether F. nucleatum is present in other gastroenterological cancer tissues remains to be elucidated. The present study evaluated whether quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were able to...
