Substantial relation between the bacterial biofilm and oncogenesis progression in host

Abstract

Globally, bacteria are well-known microorganisms for bacterial biofilm infection. Bacterial biofilm has generated antibiotic resistance and led the persistent infection. But new complications arise with a biofilm that bacterial biofilm shows the new association with oncogenesis. Some bacteria have a carcinogenic nature at the chronic infection stage like Salmonella Typhi, Helicobacter pylori. Thus, biofilm has a significant role in oncogenesis. Few pieces of evidence also support that the bacterial biofilm has a potential role to develop oncogenesis in the human body. Bacterial biofilm is responsible to induce chronic inflammation and is the main basis for the oncogenesis process. But bacterial biofilm association with the oncogenesis mechanism is unknown yet. This article focuses on the function of bacterial biofilm in tumor formation and the mechanism that encourages the oncogenesis and provide a possible and interesting hypothesis involved in between biofilm and host oncogenesis progression. The discussed relationship will provide a sound direction in the field of oncology and concept may give an informative direction in diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial biofilm behavior could be significantly linked with cancer cell formation. This article attracts the attention of researchers of the field because biofilm mediated oncogenesis further indicate towards an important issue in human health.
