The development of colorectal cancer has been predicted to inolve the enteric microbiome. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kordahi et al. (2021) address this predisposition by identifying not just pathobiont micro-organisms but also distinct microbial signatures within those bacteria that predict the presence of pre-cancerous polyps.

结肠癌“前传”

已经预测结直肠癌的发展会影响肠道微生物组。在本期Cell Host & Microbe 中，Kordahi 等人。(2021) 通过不仅识别致病微生物，而且识别那些预测癌前息肉存在的细菌中不同的微生物特征来解决这种易感性。
