Observations: New Salmonella strain delivers gene-based therapy to fight virus in mice: "'This is the first time anyone has successfully engineered bacteria for treatment of a viral infection,' Fenyong Liu, a University of California, Berkeley virologist who worked on the new research, said in a prepared statement. The research team found that altered Salmonella were effective in preventing severe infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV)—a widespread virus that can cause severe complications for newborns and people with compromised immune systems. There is currently no approved vaccine for CMV.
