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.

Geographical variation in the incidence of colorectal cancer and urinary tract cancer is associated with population exposure to colibactin-producing Escherichia coli
Biomedical research has implicated the bacterial metabolite colibactin as a causal risk factor for several cancer types, in particular, colorectal can…
