Abstract
‘Bad bacteria’ could alter the toxicokinetics of environmental pollutants, thereby exacerbating chemically induced tumorigenesis. Recently, Roje et al. reported that specific gut microbiota can metabolize nitrosamine compounds to a toxic oxidation product, aggravating bladder cancer development and progression. These findings have important implications for tumor intervention through the gut microbiota.
