| Abstract | The composition of the gut microbiome has been shown to influence disease outcome in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). In a recent Nature Biotechnology article, Wang et al. demonstrate that killing CRC-associated bacteria with a liposomal antibiotic elicits CRC-targeting immune responses of therapeutic relevance as a consequence of epitope mimicry. |
