news@nature - Live-in bugs fight HIV:
"Some of the 'friendly bacteria' found in yoghurt have been genetically modified to release a drug that blocks HIV infection. Although the bacteria have only been tested in a lab dish, scientists are optimistic that the technique could provide a cheaper and more effective way of delivering drugs to fight the spread of AIDS, by getting the bugs to live right where the drugs are needed most."
