Parvimonas micra is an important oral microbe that has the ability to grow and proliferate within oral biofilms and is involved in periodontal disease, leading to gingival bleeding, gingival recession, alveolar bone loss, and tooth mobility. However, occasionally these normally oral pathogens can cause infections at other sites in the body. We present the genome sequence of Parvimonas micra strain A293, a smooth Parvimonas micra strain isolated from an abdominal abscess from a patient at Barts Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Background: Studies have reported clinical heterogeneity between right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC). However, none of these studies used multi-omics analysis combining genetic regulation, microbiota, and metabolites to explain the site-specific difference.
Methods: Here, 494 participants from a 16S rRNA gene sequencing cohort (50 RCC, 114 LCC, and 100 healthy controls) and a multi-omics cohort (63 RCC, 79 LCC, and 88 healthy controls) were analyzed.

and are anaerobic bacteria rarely encountered in clinical practice, making their identification in bacteremia significant. These organisms are typically found in the human gut and oral flora and are generally considered low-virulence. However, in patients with compromised immunity or significant comorbidities, they can lead to severe infections, including bacteremia.

Aim: The oral cavity harbours distinct microorganisms, which create a unique microenvironment. These microorganisms might trigger inflammatory reactions in the host, potentially leading to inflammation that can question the stability of temporary skeletal anchorage devices(TSADs). This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the type of microorganisms around TSADs.

We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a history of mechanical mitral valve replacement and atrial fibrillation who developed infective endocarditis (IE) caused by (), resulting in recurrent cerebral infarctions. Despite increasing the intensity of anticoagulation therapy with warfarin and adding aspirin, the patient experienced four embolic cerebral infarctions. Following a single fever spike, blood cultures identified , although no other systemic features of IE were present.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the connection between gut bacteria, specifically oral pathogens, and colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting the role of Parvimonas micra and Fusobacterium nucleatum.
- The research analyzed fecal samples from 275 CRC patients and 95 healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing, revealing significant differences in microbial composition linked to tumor location and microsatellite instability (MSI).
- Findings indicate that certain bacteria like P. micra and F. nucleatum are more prevalent in CRC patients, suggesting their potential role in the disease's development and the need for further research on bacterial interactions in CRC progression.
