With the advent of genomics and recombinant technology, antitumor bacteria—which had largely remained curiosities in the field of cancer treatment—have now been transformed into finely tuned therapeutic devices through surface expression of proteins with antitumoral properties. For instance, the invasin...
Concanavalin A (Con A) and Salmonella, pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, which cause various illnesses including gastroenteritis and systemic febrile disease31, were selected for a molecular recognition model. The driving force was generated by specific lectin‒carbohydrate recognition between Con A and...
