  • Role of nitric oxide in Salmonella typhimurium-mediated cancer cell killing.

    Barak Y, Schreiber F, Thorne SH, Contag CH, Debeer D, Matin A. BMC Cancer. 2010: 10 146

    Bacterial targeting of tumours is an important anti-cancer strategy. We previously showed that strain SL7838 of Salmonella typhimurium targets and kills cancer cells. Whether NO generation by the bacteria has a role in SL7838 lethality to cancer cells is explored. This bacterium has the mechanism for generating NO, but also for decomposing it.
