F. nucleatum is a common harmless bacteria that thrives in your mouth but may end up in your gut anyways. Higher amounts of F. nucleatum have been found in people with colorectal cancer than compared with healthy people. It seems to live in the tissue of the cancer itself and it's presence there is associated with a worse course of the disease. It's exact role, however, is still being studied.
