Résumé

Many colorectal diseases depend on complex interactions between several pathophysiological factors, including the intestinal microbiota. In recent years, the widespread use of antibiotics has been recognized as a main cause of intestinal dysbiosis and a favouring factor for Clostridioides difficile infection. The latter, in addition, causes infectious diarrhoea, pseudomembranous colitis, and toxic megacolon by means of its toxins (A and, especially, B), is characterized by frequent relapses; thus, its persistence in a host may be long-lasting. Based on recent experimental evidence, here we analyse the possibility that, similarly to other bacteria, Clostridioides difficile may be considered a potential carcinogen for colorectal cancer.
