The complex reservoir of metabolite-producing bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract contributes tremendously to human health and disease. Bacterial composition, and by extension gut metabolomic composition, is undoubtably influenced by the use of modern antibiotics. Herein, we demonstrate that poly...

Colibactin is a secondary metabolite produced by bacteria present in the human gut and is implicated in the progression of colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. This genotoxin alkylates deoxyadenosines on opposite strands of host cell DNA to produce DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) tha...

Gut metagenomes of Mice from NUS Colibactin Project
Colibactin, a potent genotoxin of Escherichia coli, causes DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). We investigated if colibactin creates a particular DNA damage signature in infected human cells. Genomic contexts of colibactin-induced DSBs were enriched for a distinct AT-rich hexameric sequence motif. A su...

Colibactin-producing E. coli promote carcinogenesis of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma
Colibactin DNA damage signature indicates mutational impact in colorectal cancer
The genotoxin colibactin is a determinant of virulence in Escherichia coli K1 experimental neonatal systemic infection
Various bacteria are suggested to contribute to colorectal cancer (CRC) development, including pks+ E. coli, which produces the genotoxin colibactin that induces characteristic mutational signatures in host epithelial cells. However, it remains unclear how the highly unstable colibactin molecule is ...
