2. It is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, meaning it does not require oxygen for growth.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) 2 Only
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a species of bacteria commonly found in the human mouth. It is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, meaning it does not require oxygen for growth.(Statement 1is incorrect)
Interestingly, Fusobacterium nucleatum is known to play a vital role in colorectal cancer, wherein its presence affects the spread of the disease and the patient’s response to chemotherapy. However, a similar role of Fusobacterium in oral cancer was not known earlier.
The presence of the bacteria was found in Indian and Caucasian oral cancer patients, with a much higher incidence among the Indian patients.
Moreover, oral cancer patients positive for Fusobacterium were found to be negative for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, suggesting they are present in a mutually exclusive way.
