Research data on common stressor proteins of bacteria obtained during recent 10 years are updated and analyzed. Bacteria of one and the same species were shown to give similar response to the action of different stressors; the main stressor proteins of different bacteria appeared to be homologous; bacteria have cross protection from different stressors. In addition, some common stressor proteins of bacteria were found to be homologous with human antigens that is of great importance for immunobiotechnology.
