His study, published in Cell Host & Microbe, highlights targeting a bacterial toxin as a potential way to prevent severe cancer outcomes.

“This work provides a new understanding of how bacterial toxins drive colorectal metastasis, paving the way for novel screening approaches to identify at-risk patients,” said Dr. Jobin, senior study author and Professor at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

]]> Campylobacter Presence in CRC Found To Accelerate Tumor Metastasis https://innovate.research.ufl.edu/christian-jobin-campylobacter-bacteria/ Thu, 05 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://scaddev1.com/christian-jobin-campylobacter-bacteria/ While tumors linked to several forms of cancer, in particular colorectal cancer (CRC), are known to contain intratumoral and intracellular bacteria, the physiological consequences of these microorganisms are not well known.

In a recent study overseen by Christian Jobin, PhD, UF College of Medicine, campylobacter bacteria have been found to be enriched in primary CRC lesions of patients with metastasis.
