High throughput genome analysis by UoH team’s research highlights the risks of colorectal cancer progression

Hyderabad, Mar 5 (UNI) Various bacterial species residing in the human intestine (intestinal microbiome) including genotoxic strains of E.coli have been reported to be involved in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, a study conducted by a research team from University of Hyderabad said in a release here on Friday.
The genotoxin colibactin is a secondary metabolite produced by the polyketide synthase (pks) island harbored by extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae that has been increasingly reported to have critical implications in human health.
Pathogenic E. coli strains are evolving with the horizontal acquisition of mobile genetic elements, including pathogenicity islands such as the pks island, which produces the genotoxin colibactin, resulting in severe clinical outcomes, the release said.
