Vet Res . 2018 Apr; 49(1):38. PMID: 29690928
Clostridium novyi-NT (CVN-NT) spores germinate in hypoxic regions of tumors and have successfully cured induced neoplasia in mouse models and resulted in objective tumor responses in naturally developing neoplasia in...

Roberts N, Zhang L, Janku F, Collins A, Bai R, Staedtke V, et al.
Sci Transl Med . 2014 Aug; 6(249):249ra111. PMID: 25122639
Species of Clostridium bacteria are notable for their ability to lyse tumor cells growing in hypoxic environments. We show that an attenuated strain of Clostridium novyi (C. novyi-NT) induces a...

The nucleoside analogue, 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil (FIAU) is a substrate for thymidine kinase (TK), which is commonly expressed in bacteria. It is currently being investigated in clinical studies as an in vivo...

CJEM . 2014 May; 16(3):252-6. PMID: 24852590
Colchicine has a low therapeutic index. Its toxic effects generally occur at doses ≥ 0.5 mg/kg. We present the case of a 39-year-old female with toxicity following ingestion of 0.28...
