A PhD thesis at the University of Basra examines the relationship between pathogenic genes encoded by bacteria and colorectal cancer.
A doctoral thesis at the University of Basra's Faculty of Science has investigated the relationship between the gene expression of FadA, Bft, CdtB, ClbQ, ClbB, PltB, ClbA and PltA genes in bacteria and colorectal cancer.
The thesis, submitted by student Ahmed Saadoun Khamis, aims to study the role of pathogenic bacterial species associated with colorectal cancer in tumorigenesis.
The thesis outlined methods for detecting and measuring the level of gene expression of genes encoded by pathogenic bacteria and their relationship with the disease.
The study recommended the use of metagenomic genomic analysis to obtain a clearer picture and a broader understanding of the tumor-associated microbial community, and to conduct further studies of other cancer populations and focus on the role that bacteria play in this regard.
