Core Tip This study characterizes Streptococcus anginosus (S. anginosus) colonization across digestive diseases and its immunomodulatory role in gastric cancer. In a prospective cohort of 93 patients, S. anginosus positivity and relative load were highest in malignant tumors. Using a chemically induced gastric cancer rat model, S. anginosus colonization was shown to promote tumor progression, elevate serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, and enhance infiltration of CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and CD68+ macrophages. The findings indicate that S. anginosus remodels the tumor immune microenvironment to favor carcinogenesis, suggesting its potential as a microbial and immunotherapeutic target.
