We present the first evidence to support the association of non-typhoidal Salmonella species along with typhoidal strains in gallbladder cancer. Salmonella infection in the chronic carrier state fits the role of the 'inflammatory stimulus' in the genetic model for gallbladder carcinogenesis that may play a role in gallbladder cancer analogous to Helicobacter pylori in gastric cancer.
