Abstract
The application of spores of the bacterium Clostridium oncolyticum s. butyricum (M 55) results in an increased incorporation of 131Iododeoxyuridine in tumors (amelanotic melanoma Fortner III of the golden hamster and Brown-Pearce carcinoma of the rabbit). This leads to an improved scintigraphic demonstration of the tumors.
