• Due to inherent differences in cellular composition and metabolic behavior with host cells, tumor‐harbored bacteria can discriminatorily affect tumor immune landscape. However, the mechanisms by which intracellular bacteria affect antigen presentation process between tumor cells and antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) are largely unknown. The invasion behavior of attenuated Salmonella VNP20009 (VNP) into tumor cells is investigated and an attempt is made to modulate this behavior by modifying positively charged polymers on the surface of VNP. It is found that non‐toxic chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) modified VNP (VNP@COS) bolsters the formation of gap junction between tumor cells and APCs by enhancing the ability of VNP to infect tumor cells. On this basis, a bacterial biohybrid is designed to promote in situ antigen cross‐presentation through intracellular bacteria induced gap junction. This bacterial biohybrid also enhances the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules on the surface of tumor cells through the incorporation of Mdivi‐1 coupled with VNP@COS. This strategic integration serves to heighten the immunogenic exposure of tumor antigens; while, preserving the cytotoxic potency of T cells. A strategy is proposed to precisely controlling the function and local effects of microorganisms within tumors. A bacterial biohybrid is designed by modifying live bacterium VNP20009 (VNP) with chito‐oligosaccharide biopolymers to directly enter into tumor cells and bolster antigen cross‐presentation through VNP‐induced gap junction. This bacterial biohybrid also enhances the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules on tumor cells surface, which is achieved through the incorporation of Mdivi‐1 coupled with VNP.
