研究将E. 肉毒杆菌与青壮年早期的直肠癌联系起来。 Study links E. coli toxin colibactin to early-onset colorectal cancer in young adults.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校的一项新研究 将Clibactin(一种由某些E类大肠杆菌生成的毒素) 与早期发作的结肠癌联系起来。 A new study by the University of California, San Diego, links colibactin, a toxin produced by certain E. coli strains, to early-onset colorectal cancer. 研究人员分析了来自全球近 1,000 名患者的组织样本，发现大多数人都有癌症突变，表明过去在儿童时期接触过大肠杆菌素。 Analyzing tissue samples from nearly 1,000 patients worldwide, researchers found that most had cancer mutations indicating past colibactin exposure during childhood. 虽然尚未得出结论,但研究表明,同性恋和诸如饮食和生活方式等环境因素可能助长年轻成年人的结肠癌发病率上升。 While not conclusive, the study suggests that colibactin and environmental factors like diet and lifestyle may contribute to rising colorectal cancer rates in young adults.
