Various strains of bacteria are used in bacterial cancer therapy, each chosen for their unique properties. Some of the commonly used strains include:
- Salmonella typhimurium: Known for its ability to thrive in low-oxygen environments typical of tumors. - Clostridium species: These anaerobic bacteria can survive and grow in the hypoxic regions of tumors. - Listeria monocytogenes: This bacterium can induce a robust immune response, making it suitable for immunotherapy applications.
