Colorectal Neoplasm

Colorectal Neoplasm

Gut bacteria like Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis Enterococcus etc., produces toxins that are reported to be involved in the development of cancers. Specifically, these toxins are called enterotoxigenic (in simpler terms - toxic to genes), which means these toxins can directly damage the DNA resulting in activation of uncontrollable cell proliferation, which eventually leads to cancer.
