This document discusses using bacteria for cancer therapy. It describes how certain bacteria can target and kill tumor cells, including some that are currently in clinical trials. Obligate anaerobes like Clostridium target low-oxygen areas of tumors, while facultative anaerobes like Salmonella can detect and penetrate tumors. Genetically modified Salmonella and Clostridium have shown efficacy in preclinical studies and early clinical trials. Bacteria can also be used as vectors to deliver gene therapy or anticancer agents directly to tumors. Overall, the document argues that bacteria show promise as novel anticancer agents.
