Cover Story: Salmonella, with its new and emerging serotypes and variants with resistance to antibiotics, as well as its ability to form biofilms, enhances its survival in hostile environments. Hence, there is potential for Salmonella as a candidate for therapeutic agents, including vaccines. Attenuated strains have potential as a delivery system for anticancer drugs and for carrying drugs or therapeutic proteins that can be released directly in the tumor microenvironment. Salmonella has potential as a vector for delivering therapeutic genes, being engineered to carry genetic material to correct genetic disorders or to enhance the body’s response to infections or tumors. However, concerns around safety remain. Advances in genetic engineering and microbiology may, in time, overcome these concerns, opening the way for Salmonella as a therapeutic tool. View this paper
