+ | <p class="first_letter_enhanced"><i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> is responsible for approximately 1.6 million deaths every year mostly in developing countries where vaccination | ||
+ | is unaffordable. To provide an affordable solution to combat pneumococcal diseases, we are engineering an <i>E. coli</i> "Pneumosensor", that will | ||
+ | work inside as an in vitro diagnostic device. Through this cheaper and easier diagnosis method, people can prepare themselves better against the | ||
+ | transmission and adversity of <i>S. Pneumoniae</i>.</p> | ||
+ | <p>Pneumosensor has a rewired comCDE signal transduction pathway native to <i>S. pneumoniae</i> that detects | ||
+ | autoinducer molecules released specifically by <i>S. pneumoniae</i>. It is also equipped with a new promoter for the specific and tight regulation of | ||
+ | target gene expression in <i>E. coli</i>. </p> | ||
