Abstract excerpt
Colibactin, is a cyclomodulin expressed from polyketide synthase (pk) genomic islands. These bacterial toxins interfere with the eukaryotic cell cycle and induce DNA damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of colibactin production among E. coli strains recovered from different infections, determine the similarity of clb nucleotide sequences, and identify genotype of isolates using...
