NANOBACTERIA: AN INFECTIOUS CAUSE FOR VARIOUS HUMAN DISEASES? K. Abo-EL-Sooud, M.M. Hashem and A.Q. Gab-Allaha ABSTRACT: Background: Calcium phosphate is deposited in many diseases, but formation mechanisms remain tentative. Nanobacteria are newly found alone replicating particles that have been detected in mineral stones forming diseases. Nanobacteria were the first (may still be the only ones) calcium-phosphate mineral containing particles isolated from human blood. Results: The stimuli for calcium salt deposition in patients with these circumstances are unclear, but nidi (meaning that biomineralization is taking place out of chemical equilibrium) for precipitation and crystallization are needed. Several important human diseases have calcium phosphate deposition as a distinctive, e.g. atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, stone formation in kidneys, polycystic kidney disease, gall-bladder, salivary, venous and gingival locations, other urological diseases, e.g. prostatitis, many cancers and various forms of autoimmune diseases. Conclusion: In this review, we discuss fully the possible etiological relationships of nanobacteria in the pathogenesis of each previous disease.
