Engineered probiotic Escherichia coli can eliminate and prevent Pseudomonas aeruginosa gut infection in animal models
Bacteria can be engineered to kill specific pathogens. Here, the authors modify and optimize a synthetic genetic system in a probiotic strain ofEscherichia coli, and show that the engineered probiotic can sense and kill the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosain two animal models of gut infection.
