Bacterial vectors, as microscopic living 'robotic factories', can be reprogrammed into microscopic living 'robotic factories', using a top-down bioengineering approach to produce and deliver anticancer agents. Most of the current research has focused on bacterial species such as Salmonella typhimurium or Clostridium novyi. However, Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is another promising candidate with probiotic properties. EcN offers increased applicability for cancer treatment with the developm ...[more]
