Abstract: ABSTRACT Background/Aim Matrix-producing breast carcinoma (MPBC), is a rare, recalcitrant and highly aggressive. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium ( S. typhimurium ) A1-R on a triple-negative MPBC in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model. Methods The PDOX model was established in the left second mammary gland of a nude mouse by surgical orthotopic implantation (SOI) of the patient triple-negative MPBC PDOX models were randomized into two groups: G1, control group (n=6); G2, tumor-targeting S. typhimurium A1-R group (n=7, intravenous (i.v.) injection via tail vein, weekly, for two weeks). All mice were sacrificed on day 15. Tumor volume and body weight were measured one time per week. Results S. typhimurium A1-R arrested tumor growth compared to the control group (P = 0.016). Conclusion The results of the present study suggest that S. typhimurium A1-R has future clinical potential in triple-negative MPBC patients.
