New paper from the group - here we show that aurodox prevents shiga toxin mediated damage in a murine model. Interesting changes to the microbiota too. Amazing work by @rebeccamchugh.bsky.social and the group. Paper here- rdcu.be/efW0K

The most worrisome is that this strain is a well know producer of the colibactin genotoxin, which may be associated with colorectal cancer bsky.app/profile/them...

Our second paper on the bacterial toxin colibactin is now out on mBio, this time we critically evaluated the claim that colibactin toxicity necessitates cell-cell contact 🧪🦠🧵(1/9) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Colibactin-producing E. coli 🦠 uses adhesin proteins to bind to colon cells, driving DNA damage 🧬 and tumor growth in #CRC. Blocking this binding with targeted inhibitors could open paths to anti-cancer therapies! 🌟! #Microbiome #ColorectalCancer #GutHealth #ImmunoSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Colibactin-driven colon cancer requires adhesin-mediated epithelial binding - Nature

The oncogenic potential of pks+ Escherichia coli depends critically on bacterial adhesion to host epithelial cells mediated by the type 1 pilus adhesin FimH and the F9 pilus adhesin FmlH.

New paper: We show that population exposure to colibactin producing E. coli lineages ST95 and ST73 largely explains global variation in colorectal cancer incidence. Same STs are also major causes of UTIs and may be similarly involved in urinary tract cancers. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
