Overview

  • Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, fusobacterium bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 28%. Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Park2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human tongue, Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
