Escherichia coli strains with the capacity for long-term persistence in the bowel microbiota carry the potentially genotoxic pks island

open access: yesMicrobial Pathogenesis, 2012
The pks genomic island found in Escherichia coli strains of phylogenetic group B2 encodes colibactin, a polyketide-peptide genotoxin that causes DNA double-strand breaks. We investigated the relationship between carriage of the pks island and the capacity of E. coli strains to persist in the gut microbiota of 130 Swedish infants, who were followed from

The pks island: a bacterial Swiss army knife? Colibactin: beyond DNA damage and cancer

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2022
The structure and mode of action of colibactin with its potential involvement in cancer have been extensively studied but little is known about the intrinsic function of the biosynthetic gene cluster, coding for colibactin, as a bacterial genotoxin. Paradoxically, this pathogenicity island is also found in commensal and probiotic strains of Escherichia

Mutational signature in colorectal cancer caused by genotoxic pks+ E. coli

open access: yesNature, 2020
International audienceVarious species of the intestinal microbiota have been associated with the development of colorectal cancer(1,2), but it has not been demonstrated that bacteria have a direct role in the occurrence of oncogenic mutations ...

PCR-assisted impedimetric biosensor for colibactin-encoding pks genomic island detection in E. coli samples [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2021
A fast PCR-assisted impedimetric biosensor was developed for the selective detection of the clbN gene from the polyketide synthase (pks) genomic island in real Escherichia coli samples. This genomic island is responsible for the production of colibactin, a harmful genotoxin that has been associated with colorectal cancer.

Isolation of a Metabolite from the pks Island Provides Insights into Colibactin Biosynthesis and Activity

Organic Letters, 2015
Colibactin is a structurally uncharacterized, genotoxic natural product produced by commensal and pathogenic strains of E. coli that harbor the pks island. A new metabolite has been isolated from a pks(+) E. coli mutant missing an essential biosynthetic enzyme.
