Magnetic resonance imaging of tumors colonized with bacterial ferritin-expressing Escherichia coli.

Magnetic resonance imaging of tumors colonized with bacterial ferritin-expressing Escherichia coli.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that human ferritin can be used as a reporter of gene expression for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bacteria also encode three classes of ferritin-type molecules with iron accumulation properties. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Here, we investigated whether these bact...
