A<unk>  is a type of embolism that is infected with bacteria, resulting in the formation of pus. These may become dangerous if dislodged from their original location. Like other emboli, a<unk>  may be fatal. One of the common microbes that can lead to widespread dissemination of<unk>  emboli is Fusobacterium necrophorum, a Gram negative anaerobic bacillus. Fusobacteria are commensal organisms in the oral cavity. F. necrophorum and F. nucleatum are the most important among the non-spore forming anaerobic bacilli in causing human infections. F. necroporum may occasionally cause<unk> aemia with metastatic abscesses (Lemierre's syndrome).
