mSphere . 2025 Feb; :e0069224. PMID: 39918307
Importance: Colibactin has been implicated as a causative agent of colorectal cancer. However, colibactin-producing bacteria are also present in many healthy individuals, leading to the hypothesis that some aspects of...

Neoplasia . 2023 Jul; 43:100918. PMID: 37499275
Certain Enterobacteriaceae strains contain a 54-kb biosynthetic gene cluster referred to as "pks" encoding the biosynthesis of a secondary metabolite, colibactin. Colibactin-producing E. coli promote colorectal cancer (CRC) in preclinical...

Gut Microbes . 2023 Mar; 15(1):2185028. PMID: 36927206
The etiology of colorectal cancer (CRC) is influenced by bacterial communities that colonize the gastrointestinal tract. These microorganisms derive essential nutrients from indigestible dietary or host-derived compounds and activate molecular...

JCI Insight . 2022 Sep; 7(19). PMID: 36048542
Clinical studies of cancer patients have shown that overexpression or amplification of thymidylate synthase (TS) correlates with a worse clinical outcome. We previously showed that elevated TS exhibits properties of...

BMC Microbiol . 2020 Jul; 20(1):205. PMID: 32652929
Background: The intestinal tract undergoes a period of cellular maturation during early life, primarily characterized by the organization of epithelial cells into specialized crypt and villus structures. These processes are...

Gut . 2018 Nov; 68(2):289-300. PMID: 30377189
Objective: produces a genotoxin, cytolethal distending toxin (CDT), which has DNAse activity and causes DNA double-strand breaks. Although infection has been shown to promote intestinal inflammation, the impact of this...
