Rambam

Glioblastoma tumor tissue removed from a patient and immediately soaked in a solution containing an amino acid that only bacteria consume. On the left, you can see that the cancer cells, whose nuclei are marked in orange, have taken up the amino acid marked in blue – evidence of the presence of live, active bacteria in the tumor. On the right, after antibiotic treatment, the consumption of the amino acid has stopped.
