“…16−28 As the targeting of tumors by bacteria is not limited by tumor types, bacteria acting as drug carriers and/or therapeutic agents are suitable for treating nearly all tumors. Recently, bacteria, especially anaerobic and facultative bacteria, including E. coli 19,20 Salmonella, 21 Lactobacillus casei, 22 B. breve, 23 B. adolescentis, 24 Lactobacillus acidophilus, 27 B. Longum, 28 B. infantis, 29 Bifidobacterium bifidu (B. bifidum), 25,30 and magnetotactic bacteria, 26 have been investigated for their potential use for in vivo drug delivery and cancer therapy. Among these, magnetotactic bacteria, which is a type of aquatic prokaryote, may be excellent tumor-targeting agents due to their ability to actively swim and accumulate into tumors, following their direct tumoral targeting using an external magnetic field.…”
