The bacterial toxin colibactin triggers prophage induction
Colibactin is a chemically unstable small-molecule genotoxin that is produced by several different bacteria, including members of the human gut microbiome(1,2). Although the biological activity of colibactin has been extensively investigated in mammalian systems(3), little is known about its effects...
