Article Synopsis
- The trillions of microbes in the human body influence health and disease through various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, shaping the human ecosystem.
- Researchers are exploring ways to design microbes as therapeutic agents, which could enhance drug delivery and restore balance in disrupted microbial communities.
- Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have a safe history of use in food and health, making them suitable for engineered applications, and the review discusses genetic tools and future possibilities for LAB-based therapeutic systems.
