ABSTRACT
Cases of cancer cervix receiving radiation therapy revealed more anaerobes (50%) in comparison to normal controls (44.6%). The aerobic organisms were suppressed in the former cases (63.6%) in contrast to the latter group (90.7%). Of the anaerobes, the Gram-negative bacilli were more notable (18.1%) in cancer cervix than the normal controls (4.6%). The anaerobes like Peptococcus prevotii (18.1%) and Bacteroides oralis (9%) and the aerobes, Staph aureus (13.6%) and klebsiella (13.6%) were prevalent in cancer cervix. The higher incidence of aerobic and anaerobic organisms in stage III elderly (> 45 years) patients of cancer cervix may necessitate antibacterial therapy.
