Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent malignant neoplasm in the world. CRC is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Through toxin-mediated DNA damage and the promotion of persistent dysregulated inflammation, the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the development of CRC. In this review, we discussed the correlation between the bacterial microbiota and CRC carcinogenesis as well as the mechanism by which Streptococcus bovis/gallolyticus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides fragilis, and Escherichia coli can cause CRC.

Keywords: Gut microbiota, bacteria, colorectal cancer, carcinogenesis, inflammation, genotoxicity.
