Patho-biotechnology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patho-biotechnology,[1][2][3] coined by Roy Sleator and Colin Hill (University College Cork, Ireland), describes the exploitation of pathogenic stress survival factors in biotechnology, medicine and food.

This approach shows promise for the development of novel vaccine and drug delivery systems, as well as the design of more technologically robust and effective probiotic cultures with improved biotechnological and clinical applications.
