A team of researchers in Singapore has developed a technique for bioengineering a bacterium to seek out and kill targeted pathogens. In their paper published in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology, the team describes the technique they developed, how it works in mice and the likelihood that a similar technique can be developed for use in humans.
