Single Dose of Frog-Derived Gut Bacterium Eradicates 100% of Tumors in Mice

Researchers have identified a bacterium derived from frog gut microbiomes that eliminated tumors completely in laboratory mice. According to recent research, a single dose of this microorganism achieved one hundred percent tumor eradication in the studied mice. Importantly, this is early-stage research—findings in mouse models often differ significantly from human outcomes, and clinical trials remain years away. The work represents a promising direction for microbiome-based cancer therapies.
