Peptostreptococcus stomatis (P. stomatis) is enriched in colorectal cancer (CRC), but its causality and translational implications in CRC are unknown. Here, we show that P. stomatis accelerates colonic tumorigenesis in ApcMin/+ and azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM-DSS) models by inducing cell proliferation, suppressing apoptosis, and impairing gut barrier function. P. stomatis adheres to CRC cells through its surface protein fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) that binds to the integrin α6/β4 receptor on CRC cells, leading to the activation of ERBB2 and the downstream MEK-ERK-p90 cascade. Blockade of the FBA-integrin α6/β4 abolishes ERBB2-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and the protumorigenic effect of P. stomatis. P. stomatis-driven ERBB2 activation bypasses receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) blockade by EGFR inhibitors (cetuximab, erlotinib), leading to drug resistance in xenograft and spontaneous CRC models of KRAS-wild-type CRC. P. stomatis also abrogates BRAF inhibitor (vemurafenib) efficacy in BRAFV600E-mutant CRC xenografts. Thus, we identify P. stomatis as an oncogenic bacterium and a contributory factor for non-responsiveness to RTK inhibitors in CRC.
