Hi Erico,
Thanks for your reply. The idea behind it is to have a radio-isotope such as Rhenium-188 attached to a varicella strain (which is a virus and not a bacteria as I erroneously mentioned in the original question), which in turn is injected intravenously into a human being in order to eradicate malignant cancer cells particularly when the disease has already metastatised.
Thanks
Kevin

There are lots of guys using biosorption around the world, and in my lab we do it mainly using radioactive metals.you can also take a look at this: FERREIRA, Rafael Vicente de Padua ; Sakata, Solange Kazumi ; Dutra, Fernando ; Vitta, Patricia Busko ; Taddei, Maria Helena Tirollo ; BELLINI, Maria Helena ; Marumo, Júlio Takehiro .

Hi Kevin,
The easiest way to radio label bacteria is to feed them on a radio labeled carbon source. They will take it up and incorporate the isotope into its body.
Working with radioactivity would not be my first choice. You have to be very careful how you dispose of everything and wear extra protection and other safety precautions. Can I ask what you are wishing to do? There may be a way to do it without radio labeling.
