CATE consists of the non-pathogenic bacterium E. coli Nissle that has the intrinsic ability to home specifically in tumors. We are engineering E. coli Nissle to carry a MRI contrast and a cytotoxic agent so it can deliver both components to tumor sites. | CATE consists of the non-pathogenic bacterium E. coli Nissle that has the intrinsic ability to home specifically in tumors.
