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 are colonized with E. coli that harbor the pks island.^[5]

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.^[6] Colibactin has been previously demonstrated to have a characteristic mutational signature.^[7] 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.
