flag Study links toxin from certain E. coli strains to increased colon cancer in younger adults.

flag Recent research links a toxin called colibactin, produced by certain E. coli strains, to rising colon cancer rates in younger adults. flag 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. flag Researchers suggest this could lead to new prevention methods, including early screening and dietary changes to promote a healthier gut microbiome.
