Abstract: Abstract: Considering its tumor targeting, replication in tumor tissues and anti-tumor effects, attenuated Salmonella typhimurium has offered a new approach to tumor therapy. As a anti-tumor bacteria vector , S. typhimurium made gene express specifically in tumor tissue which showed the optimistic curative effect. Recent research revealed that the cure rate of the breast and prostate cancer in athymic mouse were up to 40% or 50% when a mutant of S. typhimurium A1-R was treated alone. It also showed a satisfactory treatment effect in the mouse tumor metastasis model. S. typhimurium has been the hot pot in the tumor research in recent years for its attractive prospects in tumor therapy. This article mainly reviewed the recent progress of S. typhimurium in tumor biotherapy.
