Molecular Detection of Fusobacterium Persistence in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Abstract

The presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum DNAwas detected in abundance relative total number of bacteria in 40 patient tissue samples with colorectal cancer and 20 normal tissue sample. Fusobacterium bacterium positivity was detected in 33 (82.51%) tissue samples with CRC. The results show that there was significant increase in copy number of Fusobacterium nucleatum isolates in patients when compared with control group.The results of the current study showed that there was no significant different between male and female in colorectal cancer patients.
