Bacterial infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality in
cancer patients. These infections always remained enigmatic due to
initial reluctance of cancer researchers in understanding their
etiologic potential. Etiological association of bacteria with
cancer gained credibility after discovery of carcinogenic potential
of Helicobacter pylori. Moreover, other suspected associations
including Salmonella typhi and gallbladder cancer, Streptococcus
bovis and colon cancer, Chlamydia psittaci and ocular adnexal
lymphoma and Chlamydia pneumoniae with lung cancer, etc. are
looking for a legitimate appraisal to unravel their etiologic
potential without prejudice. In contrary, bacteria also show
protective role in certain types of cancer. Certain agents derived
from bacteria are successfully in practice for the management of
cancer. The integrate association of bacteria and cancer is evident
in both positive and negative aspects. The role of bacteria in
cancer etiology and treatment is vigorously studied since last few
years. Present book tries to provide current status of research
undergoing in above direction, with the glimpses of future
possibility for using microbiological knowledge in the management
of this deadly killer. This book will interest specialists dealing
with cancer associated infectious complications, researchers
working in the field of cancer biology, teachers and scientists in
the field of microbiology, biotechnology, medicine and oncology.
The unique coverage of bacteriology and cancer association in both
positive and negative way can usher into development of novel
thrust area for microbiology students and experts.
