Bacterial endotoxins and microorganisms in the oral cavities of patients on cancer therapy

ConclusionsNo differences in the prevalence of bacteria and bacterial endotoxins were found between the cancer patients and healthy individuals. Oral cavity endotoxins did not correlate with the carriage of AGNB. However, due to the high prevalence in cancer patients, the role of Candida species and S. aureus in the pathology may not be excluded.Graphical abstract
