Abstract Tirapazamine (TPZ), an antitumor prodrug, can be activated in hypoxic environment. It specifically targets the microenvironment of tumors and produces toxic free radicals. However, due to tumor is not completely hypoxic, TPZ often fails effectively treat entire tissue, resulting suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Herein, a low pathogenic Escherichia coli TOP10 utilized selectively colonize tissues, disrupt blood vessels, induce thrombus formation, leading expansion region improving effect TPZ. Additionally, thermosensitive hydrogel constructed by Pluronic F‐127 (F127), which undergoes gelation situ at site, sustained release To monitor process, it genetically modified integrating bioluminescent system luxCDABE (TOP10‐Lux). The signal associated with hypoxia enhancement beneficial for monitoring bioluminescence imaging. In murine colon cancer model, TOP10‐Lux combined TPZ‐loaded F127 suppressed growth, treatment process efficiently monitored. Together, this work employs enhance efficacy providing effective strategy bacteria‐based tumor‐targeted chemotherapy monitoring.

With the comprehensive understanding of microorganisms and rapid advances physiochemical engineering bioengineering technologies, scientists are advancing rationally-engineered bacteria as emerging drugs for treating various diseases in clinical disease management. Engineered specifically refer to advanced or genetic technologies combination with cutting edge nanotechnology physical which have been validated play significant roles lysing tumors, regulating immunity, influencing metabolic pathways, etc. However, there has no specific reviews that concurrently cover physiochemically- genetically-engineered their derivatives yet, let alone distinctive design principles functions applications. Herein, applications physiochemically bacteria, classify discuss breakthroughs an emphasis on methods objective different uses beyond cancer is described. The combined strategies developing vivo biotherapeutic agents based these bacterial derivatives, elucidated how they repress other also underlined. Additionally, challenges faced by translation future development directions discussed. This review expected provide overall impression enlighten more researchers.
