Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies in paired colorectal cancer and saliva samples. (A) Schematic of the experimental procedures. AP-PCR, arbitrarily primed PCR; CRC, colorectal cancer; Fn, Fusobacterium nucleatum. See online supplementary information for more details. (B) Flowchart of the study process. FS agar, _Fusobacterium_-selective agar. (C) AP-PCR patterns detected with primer D11344. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments. Identical pairs are highlighted in yellow or blue. GL, gene ladder (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10 and 20 kbp). Subspecies, an, nu, po and vi are F. nucleatum subsp. animalis, F. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum and F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii, respectively.
