Fusobacterium Genome Sequencing
Fusobacterium spp. are enriched in periodontal disease and exhibit elevated abundance in multiple cancers, yet limited characterization of oral clinical isolates has hindered the development of effective diagnostic and preventive strategies. In this project, clinical Fusobacterium polymorphum isolates were recovered from combined buccal swab and saliva samples collected from OSCC patients and non-OSCC control subjects.
