Engineered Microbes to Sense and Respond to Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

2018-06-17

Abstract excerpt

Every year, Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), the most common form of traveler’s diarrhea, affects thousands of military personnel deployed overseas. The goal of this research was to engineer non-pathogenic E. coli to sense ETEC, respond to its presence, and package the non-pathogenic E. coli in a cellulose matrix to enable environmental detection of ETEC. Two plasmids were created: ‘sense-respond’; and...
