Recent advances in sequencing the microbiome of plants and several mammalian species, including humans, have made it possible to imagine engineered bacteria as therapeutic vehicles to treat disease by navigating, sensing, and manipulating the microbiome. This session will highlight the construction of organisms that can serve as sensors of the microenvironment or perform a therapeutic function.
