Core Tip This minireview synthesizes current insights into how gut microbiota and their metabolites bidirectionally shape the colorectal cancer tumor microenvironment, moving beyond epithelial barrier disruption to delineate direct immunomodulatory effects on stromal and immune cells. We further highlight the translational potential of microbiota-targeting strategies, such as fecal microbiota transplantation and engineered microbes, in reprogramming the immunosuppressive niche to overcome therapy resistance.
