Species-Level Analysis of the Human Gut Microbiome Shows Antibiotic Resistance Genes Associated With Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths and continuously increases new cancer cases globally. Accumulating evidence links risks of CRC to antibiotic use. Long-term use and abuse of antibiotics increase the resistance of the gut microbiota; however, whether CRC is associa...
