Rather than spreading throughout the body, the bacteria are guided only to the tumor area, where they have an ideal growth environment. - This microbial property protects the patient from the occurrence of serious infections [#Cancer] - Clostridium novyi and #Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium: The greatest advantage of using these microorganisms is that they locate directly inside the tumor, in contrast to chemotherapeutics, which spread throughout the body with blood, also destroying normal, healthy cells. Bacteria grow in the necrotic sites of the tumor and may destroy tumor cells directlyReferences Notes[ ]
