Recently, several strains of Salmonella have been shown to possess anticancer activity and, interestingly, Salmonella possesses a unique propensity to track to tumour tissue invivo. This review presents the use of Salmonella for cancer im-munotherapy, including the distinguishing characteristics of this organism and preclinical as well as clinical data.
