Fusobacterium necrophorum is infrequently implicated as a pathogenic organism. When pathogenic, the typical clinical presentation is that of pharyngitis, cervical adenopathy, and unilateral thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. Infections caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum within the fields of obstetrics and gynecology have been infrequently reported. We describe a 19-year-old woman who underwent a cesarean delivery complicated by sepsis and purulent uterine necrosis secondary to Fusobacterium necrophorum infection.

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a skin infection of cattle's feet with multiple bacteria suspected to be involved, yet its precise etiopathogenesis remains unclear. This longitudinal study explored the temporal changes of seven DD-associated bacteria in feet developing lesions or remaining healthy, while simultaneously investigating their persistence in potential reservoirs as sources of infection. Weekly swabs were collected from feet skin and saliva of 53 Holstein cows without DD lesions sequentially enrolled at calving in a commercial dairy herd.

Objectives: Explore the presence, or absence, of virulence genes and the phylogeny of a multi-decade UK collection of clinical and reference Fusobacterium necrophorum isolates.
Methods: Three hundred and eighty-five F. necrophorum strains (1982-2019) were recovered from storage (-80°C).
Lemierre's Syndrome in a 16-Year-Old Man Associated with Resolution of Marked Widespread St Elevation and a Normal Troponin Level.

Respiratory Department, Barnsley District General Hospital, Barnsley, UK.
Unlabelled: A 16-year-old man presented to the Accident and Emergence services with a 10-day history of shortness of breath, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, poor oral intake, chest pain, jaundice, diplopia and reduced urine output. He was initially treated for sepsis, however, subsequent imaging and blood cultures confirmed the diagnosis of Lemierre's syndrome (LS). LS, also known as necrobacillosis or post-pharyngitis anaerobic septicaemia is comprised of a triad of metastatic septic emboli secondary to pharyngitis, bacteraemia, and internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis.

Article Synopsis
- Lemierre's syndrome is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition that can be caused by various bacteria, not just those initially identified by Andre Lemierre.
- A 62-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes presented with severe neck swelling and required extensive medical interventions due to complications such as pulmonary abscesses and septic shock.
- Successful treatment involved the antibiotic meropenem and improved glycemic control, leading to the patient's recovery and discharge, underscoring the need for clinicians to be aware of diverse pathogens associated with Lemierre's syndrome, especially in diabetic patients.
