Getting our probiotic to attach to its target, like Yersinia enterocolitica in our case, could give important advantages in target specificity and delivering medicine in a way that ensures it reaches Y. enterocolitica in a concentration as high as possible. The idea is to manipulate Lactobacillus expression of membrane proteins to create a somewhat stable bonding to any of Yersina’s surface structures, preventing the pathogen from even entering the gut wall. This could be done with a DNA construct coding for a membrane protein that either resembles the bonding that Yersinia makes to our cells or one that itself binds to Yersinia.</p>'; | + | document.getElementById("tab1").innerHTML = '<p>When creating a biological machine that efficiently can kill off specific pathogens without disturbing other cells in its environment, an adhesion system could play a vital role.
