Scientists have modified E. coli, now it destroys cancer cells Scientists in the United States have created a bacterium that can destroy cancer cells.

The study involved staff from the University of Cincinnati, according to Advanced Healthcare Materials.

Experts have modified the strain of Escherichia coli Nissle. It is noted that it is harmless to humans and protects the microflora from pathogenic strains of E. Coli. Also, scientists have developed a unique technology to change the structure of Nissle.

Researchers managed to form bubbles with proteins on the outer shell of the bacterium, which destroy cancer cells from the inside - they penetrate into the tumor and deliver enzymes to it.

It is noted that the experimental data can be used to combat tumors in the oral cavity and malignant neoplasms on the skin..

Scientists also believe that the study of the bacteria will help switch from comprehensive cancer treatment to monotherapy..
