Scientists have reprogrammed E.Coli to combat hard to treat bacterial infections. This engineered E. coli can even kill off groups of bacteria called biofilms that are responsible for many hard-to-treat infections, such as those that take place in the lungs, bladder and on implanted medical devices. Biofilm infections are difficult to treat because the bacteria hide away under a protective barrier of sugars, DNA and proteins, expains Matthew Wook Chang and colleagues, the scientists responsible for this experiment. acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/presspacs/2013/acs-presspac-october-2-2013/recruiting-e-coli-to-combat-hard-to-treat-bacterial-infections.html Journal Article: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/sb400077j
