A Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium that has emerged as the most consistently CRC-associated microorganism in human gut microbiome studies. F. nucleatum is the primary species of concern, originally a commensal of the oral cavity that translocates to colorecta…
A Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that has emerged as a major pathogen in colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease. F. nucleatum is significantly enriched in CRC tissue and tumors compared to healthy mucosa, making it one of the strongest microbe-cancer as…
A Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that occupies a paradoxical niche in the gut microbiota: as a weak butyrate producer (short-chain fatty acid), it has anti-inflammatory potential; as a virulent invasive pathobiont in inflammatory bowel disease (particularly ulcerative …
Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) is a biogenic amine produced by bacterial lysine decarboxylase — primarily by Enterobacteriaceae, Fusobacterium, and Clostridium — during proteolytic fermentation of undigested protein in the distal colon. It is a product of putrefaction …
Clostridium symbiosum is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic bacterium within the Clostridium cluster XIVa — a taxonomic group enriched for short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producers and specialized bile acid metabolizers. Despite its ambiguous name (suggesting symbiotic…

An order of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacteria within the phylum Fusobacteriota (formerly Fusobacteria). This order-level page covers the broader taxonomic group that includes the well-characterized genus fusobacterium and its key species fusobacterium nucleatum…

Parvimonas micra is a small (0.5–1.0 µm), Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic coccus originally isolated from the human oral cavity that has emerged as one of the most consistent and universally enriched pathobionts in colorectal cancer across all geographic regions, ag…
A Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium within the Firmicutes phylum (family Peptostreptococcaceae) that has emerged as a consistently enriched organism in the colorectal cancer tumor microenvironment. While fusobacterium nucleatum receives the most attention as a…
Peptostreptococcus stomatis is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic coccus originally isolated from the human oral cavity (oral streptococcal species) that has emerged as a carcinogenic oral pathobiont enriched in colorectal cancer, particularly in advanced stages. Unl…
