E.coli Nissle 1917

The engineered commensal Escherichia coli bound specifically to the heparan sulphate proteoglycan on colorectal cancer cells and secreted the enzyme myrosinase to transform host-ingested glucosinolates to sulphoraphane, an organic small molecule with known anticancer activity

Salmonella

1.Inducing the infiltration of abundant immune cells such as monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils via TLR4 signaling

2. The secretion of FlaB by Salmonella induces the activation of phenotype and function of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) with M1 phenotype, while simultaneously suppressing the M2-like inhibitory activity
