Sulfidogenic Bacteria and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

2026-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Sulfur-rich dietary patterns have been associated with colorectal cancer risk. Certain gut bacteria metabolize dietary sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfide, which can damage the intestinal epithelium and promote carcinogenesis. We evaluated whether sulfur-metabolizing enzymes are enriched in colorectal cancer and whether associations differ by age. <h4>Results</h4> Across eleven metagenomic...
