Defining the complex role of the microbiome in colorectal cancer (CRC) and the discovery of novel, pro-tumorigenic microbes are areas of active investigation. In the present study, culturing and reassociation experiments revealed that toxigenic strains of Clostridioides difficile drove the tumorigenic phenotype of a subset of CRC patient-derived mucosal slurries in germ-free ApcMin/+ mice. Tumorigenesis was dependent on the C. difficile toxin TcdB and was associated with induction of Wnt signaling, reactive oxygen species, and pro-tumorigenic mucosal immune responses marked by infiltration of activated myeloid cells and interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing lymphoid and innate lymphoid cell subsets. These findings suggest that chronic colonization with toxigenic C. difficile is a potential driver of CRC in patients.
