Bacterium from Japanese tree frog gut reportedly eradicates tumors in mice with single dose

A post calls the finding a discovery that “completely eradicates CANCER,” but the described results concern mice. Researchers reportedly isolated Ewingella americana from amphibian gut microbiota; one intravenous dose achieved complete tumor regression in mouse colorectal cancer models, outperforming chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Treated mice reportedly showed immune memory against rechallenge. Whether the approach works in humans remains uncertain.
