Methods We performed a nested case-control study in Sweden of 45,744 patients with a colorectal polyp (cases) in the nationwide gastrointestinal ESPRESSO histopathology cohort, using unaffected full siblings as controls (n=93,307). Polyps were classified by morphology SnoMed codes into conventional adenomas and serrated polyps. Through linkage to the Prescribed Drug Register, we assessed use and cumulative dispensations of antibiotic until one year prior to polyp diagnosis for cases and their sibling controls. Results During a median study period of 6.9 years, compared with non-users, users of antibiotics (28,884 cases [63.1%] and 53,222 sibling controls [57.0%]) had a higher risk of colorectal polyps. Risk increased with higher number of dispensations (odds ratio [OR] for ≥ 6 dispensations, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.25-1.43) (Ptrend0.10). We found stronger associations for younger ( less then 50 years) vs older adults (≥50 years) for users of quinolones, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and cephalosporins (Pinteraction less then 0.001). Conclusions In a nationwide case-control study in Sweden, after accounting for hereditary and early life environmental factors, antibiotic use was associated with increased risk of colorectal polyps. Our findings indicate a role for intestinal dysbiosis in early stages of colorectal carcinogenesis.Biomineralization is remarkably diverse and provides myriad functions across many organismal systems. Biomineralization processes typically produce hardened, hierarchically organized structures usually having nanostructured mineral assemblies that are formed through inorganic-organic (usually protein) interactions. Calcium-carbonate biomineral predominates in structures of small invertebrate organisms abundant in marine
