Genomic characterization of <i>Escherichia coli</i> harbor a polyketide synthase ( <i>pks</i> ) island associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) development
2024-06-17
Abstract excerpt
The E. coli strain harboring the polyketide synthase ( Pks) island encodes the genotoxin colibactin, a secondary metabolite reported to have severe implications for human health and for the progression of colorectal cancer. The present study involved whole-genome-wide comparison and phylogenetic analysis of pks harboring E. coli isolates to gain insight into the distribution and evolution of these organism. Fi...
