ABSTRACT
Fusobacterium is a gram negative obligate anaerobic bacilli, a normal inhabitant of gastrointestinal tract, oropharynx and female genital tract. Here we report a case of Fourniers gangrene from which Fusobacterium varium has been isolated along with certain other pathogens. There are only a few reported cases of Fusobacterium varium in literature and it has never been reported from Fournier's gangrene. Through this report we intend to shed some light on the pathogenic potential of anaerobes which are considered as normal flora.
