UNC-ChapelHill # PyoPower: A self-powered sense-and-treat pyocyanin biosensor for P. aeruginosa infections # Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen prevalent in wounds of hospital patients. Current detection methods for P. aeruginosa take between 24-48 hours through use of swab swab samples and plate cultures. During this time, the infection worsens and forms a biofilm, making the infection increasingly difficult to eradicate. Therefore, a more rapid sense-and-treat system would improve the treatment of these infected wounds. ...

USAFA # Lyme-AID: Genetically Engineered Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme Disease # The USAFA iGEM 2023 team is working to improve rapid, on-the-spot, detection technology for Borrelia burgdorferi from an infected tick bite. This lyme sensing biosensor, bandaid-like patch, will be called Lyme-AID. A three-step approach will be used in this biosensor: Attract, Inhibit, and Detect (AID). Attract(1) B. burgdorferi to the biosensor patch and also limit diffusion of the pathogen into the new host through expression of Salp12, an Ioxodes scapularis salivary gland protein that acts as a chemoattractant for B. ...
