Recent advances in relationship of Fusobacterium nucleatum to intestinal immunity / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Gut microbial ecosystem is closely related to the immune system and influences human health. Fusobacterium nucleatum ( F. nucleatum) is one of the species of great concern. Increasing evidence shows that F. nucleatum promotes intestinal inflammation and influences the tumor-associated immune micro-environment. This review focused on the recent progress in the influence of F. nucleatum on intestinal immu-nity and the pathogenesis of intestinal diseases in order to discover the immune mechanism of F. nucleatum-associated intestinal diseases and find new therapeutic targets for immunotherapy.
