Toxins secreted by Bacillus isolated from lung adenocarcinomas favor the penetration of toxic substances

Toxins secreted by Bacillus isolated from lung adenocarcinomas favor the penetration of toxic substances

The aim was to explore the eventual role of bacteria in the induction of lung cancer by smoking habits. Viable bacteria closely related to the genus Bacillus were detected at high frequencies in lung-cancer biopsies. Similar, if not identical, microbes were isolated from cigarettes and in smog.
