Engineering a genome‐reduced bacterium to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in vivo

Abstract Bacteria present a promising delivery system for treating human diseases. Here, we engineered the genome‐reduced human lung pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a live biotherapeutic to treat biofilm‐associated bacterial infections. This strain has a unique genetic code, which hinders gene tra...
