Engineered reporter phages for rapid detection of <i>Escherichia coli, Klebsiella</i> spp., and <i>Enterococcus</i> spp. in urine
2022-11-23
Abstract excerpt
The rapid detection and species-level differentiation of bacterial pathogens facilitates antibiotic stewardship and improves disease management. Here, we develop a rapid bacteriophage-based diagnostic assay to detect the most prevalent pathogens causing urinary tract infections: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterococcus spp. For each uropathogen, two virulent phages were genetically engineered to expre...
