Camouflaging bacteria by wrapping with cell membranes

The use of engineered bacteria for biomedical applications is limited by side effects such as inflammatory response. Here the authors engineer cell membrane coated bacteria as in vivo tumor imaging agents, and show that these generate a lower inflammatory response and reduced macrophage clearance.
