Virulence factor discovery identifies associations between the Fic gene family and Fap2 + fusobacteria in colorectal cancer microbiomes
14 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Fusobacterium is a bacterium associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis. Fap2 is a fusobacteria-specific outer membrane galactose-binding lectin that mediates Fusobacterium adherence to and invasion of CRC tumors. Advances in omics analyses provide an opportunity to profile and identify microbial genomic features that correlate with the cancer-associated bacterial...
