The Colorectal Cancer Gut Environment Regulates Activity of the Microbiome and Promotes the Multidrug Resistant Phenotype of ESKAPE and Other Pathogens

Abstract excerpt

, can be regulated by specific environmental stresses of the gut, including organic and inorganic acid pressure in a health-dependent manner. This work advances the field of microbiology in the context of disease, showing, for the first time, that colorectal cancer regulates activity of gut microorganisms and that specific gut environmental pressures can modulate their antibiotic resistance determinants expression.
