An extensive historical literature exists suggesting that bacteria and other non-virus microorganisms cause cancer. Much of this literature stresses the likely involvement of highly pleomorphic bacteria in carcinogenesis. Pleomorphic bacteria exhibit a variety of morphological types, some of which are identical to other bacteria. In particular, bacteria that can express more than one morphology, including that normally associated with common species of Staphylococcus, have frequently been isolated from cancers. Not surprisingly, this has led to considerable confusion and ridicule. The literature linking highly pleomorphic bacteria with carcinogenesis is presented here in an attempt to add weight to the view that bacteria, notably those expressing the morphology of common species of staphylococci, cause cancer.
大量历史文献表明，细菌和其他非病毒微生物可引发癌症。这些文献大多强调高度多形性细菌可能参与致癌过程。多形性细菌呈现出多种形态类型，其中一些与其他细菌相同。特别是那些能够表现出不止一种形态的细菌，包括通常与葡萄球菌常见种类相关的形态，经常从癌症组织中分离出来。不出所料，这引发了相当大的困惑和嘲笑。本文展示了将高度多形性细菌与致癌作用联系起来的文献，试图进一步支持细菌，尤其是那些表现出葡萄球菌常见种类形态的细菌会引发癌症这一观点。
