title: [Mycoplasma as infectious causal or therapeutic factors in malignant tumors (author's transl)].
abstract: Mycoplasma must certainly be considered infectious agents in malignant tumors which actually show a certain affinity for tumor tissue. Under certain conditions their oncogenic potency must be conceded, and this is also true of questions of therapeutic efficacy. But all these problems have only been outlined so far and great efforts are required from many laboratories before a final assessment is possible.
