Micro-robotic bacteria with the similar whip-like tail of of E. coli, may be the future treatment to tackle diseases.
The microscopic mechanical machines known as Artificial Bacterial Flagella (ABFs), were invented to be able to 'swim' through the body to specific target areas affected by certain disease, possible hard to reach regions of the internal human system.
Bradley Nelson, Professor at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich, and his team of researchers see the ABFs as a potentially common treatment technique of the future

pretty cool, there not really mechanical machines though....just very small strips of metal designed to react to magnetic field
