A possible role of urinary genotoxic Escherichia coli in prostate cancer in Nigerian patients
Abstract Objective Infection and inflammation are potential initiating factors for the development and progression of prostate cancer. This study investigated the presence of bacterial genotoxins; colibactin (clb) and cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) in Escherichia coli isolated from urine samples...
