Genotoxicity of Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT) on isogenic human colorectal cell lines: potential promoting effects for colorectal carcinogenesis

The composition of the human microbiota influences tumorigenesis, notably in colorectal cancer (CRC). Pathogenic Escherichia coli possesses a variety of virulent factors, among them the Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT). CDT displays dual DNase and phosphatase activities and induces DNA double stran...
