Tackling the Threat of Cancer Due to Pathobionts Producing Colibactin: Is Mesalamine the Magic Bullet?

Colibactin is a genotoxin produced primarily by Escherichia coli harboring the genomic pks island (pks(+) E. coli). Pks(+) E. coli cause host cell DNA damage, leading to chromosomal instability and gene mutations. The signature of colibactin-induced mutations has been described and found in human co...
