Core Tip Diabetes mellitus is an established independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). We identified Enterocloster bolteae as a discriminative gut microbial signature specific to patients with diabetes mellitus-CRC. Functional pathway analysis further revealed a distinctive enrichment of carcinogenesis-related signaling pathways in this cohort, including RAC, RHO, MSH6, and Elongin C, which was subsequently validated in vitro. These findings establish a link between a diabetes-enriched gut bacterium and the activation of oncogenic pathways in CRC.
