Overview
Our project is not just the adaptation of Lactococcus lactis. To safely apply our bacterium on a burn, it needs to be in a bandage.
We adapted Lactococcus lactis so it could recognize quorum sensing molecules of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Upon detection of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, our bacterium excretes molecules to combat them.
