COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVE DETECTION AND/OR INHIBITION OF BACTERIAL PATHOGENS IN MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES

摘要

The present disclosure relates, in one aspect, to the unexpected discovery that the native enzymatic machinery of pathogenic bacteria can be harnessed to develop biosensors and antimicrobials that target disease-causing microbes in the gut. The present approach relates in one aspect to the use of proteases for the design of these precision tools.
