JLU-China # EyeGuard: A System for Inhibiting Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using DMBT1 Protein Generation and Hardware Platform # Contact lenses, while correcting vision and enhancing aesthetics, pose hygiene risks, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Our iGEM project addresses this by engineering E. coli into lens solutions, creating a DMBT1 protein system to inhibit Pseudomonas growth, reducing infection risks. This system comprises a toxin-antitoxin system, population sensing system for bacterial growth control, and an Hsp27 self-inducing system for increased protein production. ...
