Abstract excerpt
Imbalances in the mammalian gut are associated with acute and chronic conditions, and using engineered probiotic strains to deliver synthetic constructs to treat them is a promising strategy. However, high rates of mutational escape and genetic instability in vivo limit the effectiveness of biocontainment circuits needed for safe and effective use. Here, we describe STALEMATE (Sequence enTAngLEd Multi lAyered...
