Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cause of tumorigenesis and several pathogenic bacteria have been correlated with aggressive cases of cancer i.e., genotoxin (colibactin) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli). This study was designed to investigate the genetic diversity of clb+clb+ E. coli strains and their association with CRC. Pathogenic E. coli isolates from colorectal biopsies were...
