Colibactin is a genotoxic metabolite produced by Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae ("enteric bacteria") believed to cause mutations leading to colorectal cancer and the progression of colorectal cancer.[1][2][3][4] Colibactin is a polyketide peptide that can form interstrand crosslinks in DNA.[2] Colibactin is only produced by bacterial strains containing a polyketide synthase genomic island (pks)[1] or clb biosynthetic gene cluster.[4] About 20% of humans in high-income countries are colonized with E. coli that harbor the pks island.[5][6]

Colibactin forms DNA inter-strand cross-links by alkylation of adenine moieties on opposing DNA strands.[4] It induces lytic development in certain bacteria that contain prophages.[7] Colibactin has been previously demonstrated to have a characteristic mutational signature.[8] The same mutational signature was discovered in several cohorts of colon cancer patients, and in smaller numbers of patients with urogenital and head and neck cancers.
