DNA once dismissed as 'noise' reveals new bacterial species in prostate cancer patients
University of East Anglia researchers have discovered the genetic blueprints of 18 new bacterial species collected from prostate cancer patients.
AI Summary
University of East Anglia researchers identified the genetic blueprints of 18 new bacterial species in samples from prostate cancer patients. Most of the newly discovered bacteria were isolated from the mouth. The team found new types of Porphyromonas, which they have previously linked to more aggressive prostate cancer, and new strains of Treponema. The study expands the known bacterial diversity associated with prostate cancer.
