Bacteria-mediated DNA transfer in gene therapy and vaccination

Abstract excerpt

The use of live attenuated bacterial vaccine strains allows the targeted delivery of macromolecules to mammalian cells and tissues via the mucosal route. Depending on their specific virulence mechanisms and inherent metabolic preferences, bacteria invade certain cell types and body niches where they consequently deliver their cargo. Recently, the ability of attenuated strains of Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia...
