Oligosaccharides increase the genotoxic effect of colibactin produced by pks+ Escherichia coli strains

BACKGROUND: Colibactin is a genotoxin that induces DNA double-strand breaks that may lead to carcinogenesis and is produced by Escherichia coli strains harboring the pks island. Human and animal studies have shown that colibactin-producing gut bacteria promote carcinogenesis and enhance the progress...
