Fusobacterium

Fusobacterium is a genus of anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria naturally found in the human oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and sometimes in the vaginal flora. While some species may exist as part of a normal microbiome, Fusobacterium is also known for its association with inflammation and infection. High levels in the gut have been linked to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. Its presence is often considered a marker of microbial imbalance or pathogenic overgrowth, especially when found alongside symptoms like bloating or altered bowel habits.

Description

What is Fusobacterium?

It is a group of anaerobic bacteria that can reside in the gut, mouth, and other mucosal areas.

Why is Fusobacterium tested in stool analysis?

Because elevated levels may be associated with inflammation, gut dysbiosis, or even more serious conditions like IBD or colorectal cancer.

Is Fusobacterium always harmful?

Not necessarily. It can be part of the normal microbiota, but overgrowth or the presence of certain species may indicate an issue.

What causes high Fusobacterium levels?

Possible factors include poor oral hygiene, low microbial diversity, chronic inflammation, or certain dietary patterns.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
