Abstract:Colorectal Cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality. Fusobacterium nucaleatum (Fn) is closely related to the occurrence, development and drug resistance of CRC, however, the mechanism is not clear. This paper intends to explore mechanisms from inflammation, immunity, phenotypic inheritance, metabolism, drug resistance and so on. Moreover, Fn can also be used as a new biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of CRC, while fecal test, serological test and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry are of great value in clinical diagnosis. At the same time, antibiotic treatment and vaccine therapy for Fn provide a new direction for the treatment of CRC. This article reviews the mechanism of pathogenesis, drug resistance, the diagnostic value and the treatment of CRC caused by Fn.
