Engineered <i>Acinetobacter baylyi</i> ADP1-ISx cells are sensitive DNA biosensors for antibiotic resistance genes and a fungal pathogen of bats
2025-05-18
Abstract excerpt
Naturally competent bacteria can be engineered into platforms for detecting environmental DNA. This capability could be used to monitor the spread of pathogens, invasive species, and resistance genes, among other applications. Here, we create Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1-ISx biosensors that detect specific target DNA sequences through natural transformation. We tested strains with DNA sensors that consisted of eithe...
