研究将某些E类大肠杆菌毒素与较年轻的成年人结肠癌增加联系起来。 Study links toxin from certain E. coli strains to increased colon cancer in younger adults.

最近的研究将某种由某些E.大肠杆菌菌株生产的称为同性活菌的毒素与较年青成人结肠癌发病率上升联系起来。 Recent research links a toxin called colibactin, produced by certain E. coli strains, to rising colon cancer rates in younger adults. 分析了11个国家的981例癌症病例,发现与胆杆菌素相关的DNA突变在早期发病的病例中更为常见,这表明儿童暴露可能会为晚年癌症奠定基础. Analysis of 981 cancer cases across 11 countries found colibactin-related DNA mutations are more common in early-onset cases, suggesting exposure in childhood could set the stage for cancer later. 研究人员认为这可能导致新的预防方法,包括早期筛查和饮食改变,以促进更健康的肠道微生物。 Researchers suggest this could lead to new prevention methods, including early screening and dietary changes to promote a healthier gut microbiome.
