"Transcriptional Programming In A Bacteroides Consortium" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240229021).

Corey J. Wilson has filed a patent application discussing the reprogramming of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome. The application describes constructs and cell compositions that can modify and monitor the GI microbiome. These constructs contain specific nucleic acid sequences that encode regulatory core domains, DNA binding domains, and DNA operator elements. The application also mentions the use of bacterial cells, specifically from the Bacteroides genus, to modify the GI microbiome in a subject. The method involves administering a cell containing the construct to promote health by monitoring and modifying the microbiome. The patent application focuses on the Bacteroides genus of bacteria.
