Here, we reviewed emerging evidence on the role of the microbial community in colorectal
carcinogenesis. A healthy gut microbiota promotes intestinal homeostasis and can exert anti …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to contextualize the case of a patient with a
synchronous diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and endocarditis from S. gallolyticus …

Background A causal association has been suggested between certain bacteria and
colorectal cancer (CRC). Only a few studies have, however, investigated the presence of …

Bacteria constitute about 90% of all cells in the human body. The densest and most complex
bacterial community is in the large intestine. This population is quite stable in healthy …

The proportion of group D streptococcal infective endocarditis (IE)(predominantly due to
Streptococcus gallolyticus) and the incidence of colorectal cancer are higher in France than …

Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus was identified in humans and animals as
commensal of the gut and can act as a causative agent of endocarditis and septicemia. A …

An association between appendectomy and subsequent gastrointestinal (GI) cancer
development has been postulated, although the evidence is limited and inconsistent. To …

AIM: To prospectively examine the association between presence of Streptococcus bovis (S.
bovis) in colonic suction fluid and the endoscopic findings on colonoscopy. METHODS …

Viridans group (VGS) or bovis group streptococci (BGS) are the major causes for
streptococcal infective endocarditis (IE). However, the causative isolates are not sufficiently …

The ubiquitous cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) network is highly redundant with numerous
GGDEF domain proteins as diguanylate cyclases and EAL domain proteins as c-di-GMP …
