Development of pancreatic cancer in spontaneous murine models is associated with enrichment of specific strains of gut and intratumoral bacteria that induce a tolerogenic immunosuppressive microenvironment favoring cancer progression and resistance to immunotherapies. Ablation of the microbiome with antibiotics reshapes the tumor microenvironment, inducing T-cell activation, improving immune surveillance, and increasing sensitivity to immunotherapy in established tumors.
