Staphylococcus aureus is mainly harmless, commensal and found on the skin of 30% of healthy people, but is also the most common cause of staphylococcal infections. Often developing in post-operational wounds, with a growing number of resistant strains making it hard to treat, s. aureus is becoming a major threat to patients.

Here we propose making a new type of bandage which inhibits the spread of s. aureus in wounds. By using synthetic biology, we are trying to create non-pathogenic strains of bacteria, which express quorum-quenching proteins, hindering biofilm formation and spread.

Bacto Bandage

About our project

Bacto-Bandage

A raising number of bacteria are resistant to antibiotics and thereby becoming increasingly difficult to treat.

Staphylococcus aureus is mainly harmless, commensal and found on the skin of 30% of healthy people, but is also the most common cause of staphylococcal infections. Often developing in post-operational wounds, with a growing number of resistant strains making it hard to treat, s. aureus is becoming a major threat to patients.

Here we propose making a new type of bandage which inhibits the spread of s. aureus in wounds. By using synthetic biology, we are trying to create non-pathogenic strains of bacteria, which express quorum-quenching proteins, hindering biofilm formation and spread.


About our team

University of Southern Denmark

We are eight students from the University of Southern Denmark, who shared a common wish to explore synthetic biology and decided to start the first iGEM team at our university.

Together with six advisors, we are spending the summer getting to grips with the up’s and down’s in synthetic biology, the lab, how to organize the project and everything in between.
