Programming microbes to treat superbug infection

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Superbug infection is one of the greatest public health threat with grave implications across all levels of society. Towards a new solution to combat infection by multi-drug resistant bacteria, this thesis presents an engineering framework and genetic tools applied to repurpose commensal bacteria into 'micro-robots' for the treatment of superbug infection. Specifically, a prototype of designer probiotic was develo...
