Our project is to engineer Escherchia coli to detect and kill Helicobacter pylori via bacteriophage (virus) therapy. H. pylori, a bacterial pathogen and Class I carcinogen, is known for causing gastric duodenal ulcers, gastric lymphoma, and chronic gastritis, which is a precursor to gastric carcinoma. H. pylori infects about 50% of the human population, with prevalence in developing countries. With antibiotics quickly losing efficacy, a new method of treatment is direly needed! Project
