Japanese Team Finds Frog Bacteria That Wipes Out Cancer Tumors With a Single Dose

Japanese scientists led by Professor Eijiro Miyako discovered bacteria from Japanese tree frog intestines (Ewingella americana) that achieved 100% tumor elimination in mice with a single intravenous dose, engaging the immune system for comprehensive tumor destruction.

This is an early, preclinical result — the single-dose cure was in mice, and human trials are still to come. Results in mice do not always translate to people, so it is early days, but it is a genuinely promising first step.
