Microbial drug delivery has been used to treat forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The most prominently studied vehicles of microbial drug administration are the bacterial species, "Lactococcus lactis" and "Bacteroides ovatus." The usage of recombinant microbes (i.e. microorganisms designed to contain DNA from two or more different species) has applications in treating chronic diseases. In 2006, Braat "et al". implemented microbial drug delivery with "L. lactis" in clinical trials, successfully treating Crohn’s disease (CD), a form of IBD that causes inflammation and ulceration in the intestines. In this study, a recombinant strain of "L. lactis" containing complimentary DNA (cDNA) for the human
