Abstract
Fusobacterium species, typically constituents of the oral flora, can evolve into pathogenic agents in immunocompromised individuals. This abstract provides insights into the pathogenicity and clinical impact of Fusobacterium nucleatum in a complex case of biliary sepsis in a patient with a myriad of comorbidities. Here we present a compelling case of biliary sepsis caused by Fusobacterium nucleatum in a 36-year-old male patient burdened with diabetes mellitus, hypertensive heart disease, and end-stage renal failure.
