Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helicobacter pylori has been linked to stomach cancer. Vaccinations against hepatitis decrease the risk of liver cancer, practicing safe sex decreases the risk of cervical and other sexually transmitted cancers, and drinking bottled water in strange places decreases the risk of bacterial infections, but none of these are linked to H. pylori or stomach cancer. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are types of bacteria, but they are not linked to cancer. MRSA is a strain of Staphylococcus, but it is also not linked to cancer.
