Fusobacterium species are part of the gut microbiome in humans. Recent studies have identified over-representation of Fusobacterium in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues but it is not yet clear whether this is pathogenic or simply an epiphenomenon. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between Fusobacterium status and molecular features in CRCs through quantitative real-time PCR in 149 CRC tissues, 89 adjacent normal appearing mucosae and 72 colonic mucosae from cancer-free individuals. Results were correlated with CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status, microsatellite instability (MSI) and mutations in BRAF, KRAS, TP53, CHD7 and CHD8. Whole exome capture sequencing data were also available in 11 cases. Fusobacterium was detectable in 111/149 (74%) CRC tissues and heavily enriched in 9% (14/149) of the cases. As expected, Fusobacterium was also detected in normal appearing mucosae from both cancer and cancer-free individuals but the amount of bacteria was much lower compared to CRC tissues (a mean of 250-fold lower for Pan-fusobacterium). We found the Fusobacterium-high CRC group (FB-high) to be associated with CIMP positivity (p=0.001), TP53 wild type (p=0.015), hMLH1 methylation positivity (p=0.0028), MSI (p=0.018) and CHD7/8 mutation positivity (p=0.002). Among the 11 cases where whole exome sequencing data was available, two that were FB-high cases also had the highest number of somatic mutations (a mean of 736 per case in FB-high vs. 225 per case in all others). Taken together, our findings show that Fusobacterium enrichment is associated with specific molecular subsets of CRCs, offering support for a pathogenic role in CRC for this gut microbiome component
