Integrative microbiome and functional profiling identify Streptococcus anginosus as a pro-tumorigenic driver in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
ABSTRACT Oral microbial dysbiosis is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), yet specific microbial drivers within this niche remain poorly characterized. Through multi-cohort profiling of saliva microbiota, we identified Streptococcus as consistently enriched in NPC, whose abundance positively correlates with...
