The rate at which infectious diseases are emerging is disproportionate to the rate of development for new strategies that could combat them. Therefore, there is an increasing demand to develop novel, specific, sensitive, and effective methods for infectious disease diagnosis and treatment. Designed synthetic systems and devices are becoming powerful tools to treat human diseases. The advancement in synthetic biology offers efficient, accurate, and cost-effective platforms for detecting and preventing infectious diseases. Herein we focus on the latest state of living theranostics and its implications.EnglishSynthetic biologyInfectious diseasesEngineered phage and bacteriaSARS-CoV-2DiagnosticsTherapeuticsArticle10.1021/acssynbio.1c005762161-5063
