Abstract excerpt
The intestinal microbiota influences colorectal cancer (CRC) development, but its interactions with the host's genetic profile during tumorigenesis are poorly understood. We quantified the CRC-associated pathobiont Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) and the commensal Escherichia coli (E. coli) in 99 cases of archival colorectal cancer and adjacent normal mucosa. Tissues were genotyped for the 503F variant of...
