Japanese tree frog gut bacteria eradicate tumors in mice

Japanese tree frog gut bacteria show potent anti-cancer properties, eradicating tumors in mice with no severe side effects. Researchers identified a specific bacterial strain, Ewingella americana, that not only eliminated existing tumors but also prevented their recurrence and the development of new ones in mice. This discovery stems from observing the low cancer rates in amphibians and reptiles, with the bacterium potentially effective due to its ability to thrive in low-oxygen tumor environments.
