Abstract
Nowadays, a plethora of information about the role of bacteria in cancer development is available. However, there is only one bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, which is recognized by IARC as an established human carcinogen. In this chapter, we analyze the information about other infectious agents which can cause cancer but are not included into the IARC list. For the convenience of the readers, we describe the role of bacteria in cancer of various systems of human body separately. Firstly, we analyze the role of Helicobacter bilis, Helicobacter hepaticus, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp., Salmonella typhi, and Streptococcus spp. in cancer of the digestive tract, than we focus on the role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Chlamydia pneumoniae in cancer of the respiratory tract, continue the story with the role of various agents of genitourinary infections in cancer of the genitourinary tract, consider Borrelia spp. and Chlamydia psittaci as the potential causes of cancer of the lymphopoietic tract, and, finally, describe the bacteria which are only anecdotally associated with malignant tumors.
