AB - <jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p>Bacterial cancer therapy (BCT) is a promising therapeutic for solid tumours.<jats:italic>Salmonella enterica</jats:italic>Typhimurium (STm) is well-studied amongst bacterial vectors due to advantages in genetic modification and metabolic adaptation. A longstanding paradox is the redundancy of T cells for treatment efficacy; instead, STm BCT depends on innate phagocytes for tumour control. Here, we used distal T cell receptor (TCR) reporter mice (<jats:italic>Nr4a3-Tocky-Ifng-YFP</jats:italic>) and a colorectal cancer (CRC) model to interrogate T cell activity during BCT with attenuated STm. We found that colonic TILs exhibited a variety of activation defects, including IFN-γ production decoupled from TCR signalling, decreased polyfunctionality and reduced T<jats:sub>CM</jats:sub>formation. Modelling of T-cell–tumour interactions with a tumour organoid platform revealed an intact TCR signalosome, but paralysed metabolic reprogramming due to inhibition of the master metabolic controller, c-Myc. Restoration of c-Myc by deletion of the bacterial asparaginase<jats:italic>ansB</jats:italic>reinvigorated T cell activation, but at the cost of decreased metabolic control of the tumour by STm. This work shows for the first time that T cells are metabolically defective during BCT, but also that this same phenomenon is inexorably tied to intrinsic tumour suppression by the bacterial vector.</jats:p>
