In recent years, interest in bacterial agents as anticancer therapeutics has grown, due to the ability of some bacteria to selectively grow inside hypoxic tumors, i.e., these cells do not receive rich oxygen supply. Researchers are constantly looking for new therapies with improved anticancer activity, fewer side effects, and lower costs.
