 This study developed a novel rapid-bacteria-phage-based diagnostic assay for the detection of three common urinary tract infection, UTI, pathogens, escharicicoli, enterococcus SPP, and klebsila SPP. The assay uses two genetically engineered phages that express a luciferase reporter gene, when they infect their respective target bacterium. The assay was tested on 206 patient urine samples and found to have high sensitivity, 68 percent, 78 percent, 87 percent, specificity, 99 percent, 99 percent, 99 percent, and accuracy, 90 percent, 94 percent, 98 percent. Additionally, the authors demonstrated that the bioluminescent signal from the reporter phage could be used to predict the antimicrobial effectiveness of phage against the target bacterium. This study provides a promising new approach for rapid detection and differentiation of UTI pathogens, which could potentially improve disease management and reduce antibiotic overuse.
