RESUMO
Esophagomediastinal fistula secondary to mediastinal tuberculosis (TB) lymphadenitis is a rare and unusual complication. A 32-year-old woman visited our clinic because of chest pain. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated an esophagomediastinal fistula with subcarinal lymphadenopathy and no remarkable parenchymal lung lesions. The esophagomediastinal fistula was confirmed by esophagoscopy; however, the patient's bronchoscopy findings were unremarkable. The endobronchial ultrasound-guided lymph node aspiration did not confirm a diagnosis of TB. Finally, the patient was diagnosed via a lymph node biopsy. A drug-sensitivity test revealed the presence of a multidrug-resistant pathogen. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of esophagomediastinal fistula secondary to multidrug-resistant (MDR-) TB mediastinal lymphadenitis.

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, obligately anaerobic rod bacterium which might play an important role in the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii ChDC F8 (KCOM 1231) was isolated from a human gingivitis lesion. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain.
RESUMO
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative anaerobe and is one of the causative agents of periodontal diseases, including peri-implantitis. Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum ChDC F316 (KCOM 1322) was isolated from a human peri-implantitis lesion. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain.
RESUMO
Five subspecies of Fusobacterium nucleatum have been classified: animalis, nucleatum, polymorphum, vincentii, and fusiforme. F. nucleatum subsp. animalis ChDC F324 (KCOM 1325) was isolated from a human subgingival plaque in the Republic of Korea. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain.
