Deskripsi

Bacteria from the genus Fusobacterium can promote colorectal cancer (CRC) development; however, the exact Fusobacterium species involved in this process remain underexplored. Here, the authors develop a rpoB amplicon sequencing approach to identify Fusobacterium species and subspecies in CRC patient samples.
