They also only used small doses of the transporter bacterium.
Problems that I can envision with it:
- Bacterium mutates
- Comes into contact with wild S. typhimurium resulting in some funky combinations, none of which would be pleasant
- High toxicity in larger doses, which would be required for humans, either from drug overdose or transporter leak, resulting in drug floating free in the body
- Targeting may be a bit off - results in hitting other fast growing cells or cells with that particular receptor
- Patient with auto immune disease
- Questionable how to get the bacterium out again once you pump someone up with it
- Bacterium gets infected by one of many virii, altering its function
