Potential role of intratumor bacteria in mediating tumor resistance to the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine

Potential role of intratumor bacteria in mediating tumor resistance to the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine

Growing evidence suggests that microbes can influence the efficacy of cancer therapies. By studying colon cancer models, we found that bacteria can metabolize the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine (2′,2′-difluorodeoxycytidine) into its inactive form, 2′,2′-difluorodeoxyuridine. Metabolism was depend...
