Fusobacterium perfoetens

Fusobacterium perfoetens is a gut bacterium linked to the breakdown and fermentation of protein rich and nitrogen containing material in the intestine. It is especially relevant for understanding fermentation patterns that may affect stool odour and gas production. Higher levels can be linked to stronger smelling stool, gas, altered stool quality, or a gut environment where protein breakdown products are more prominent. Fusobacterium perfoetens levels can therefore give insight into odour related fermentation in the canine gut.
