Our team only uses one type of bacteria in the experiment: E. coli BL21(DE3), a non-pathogenic strain of microorganisms. This is due to the biohazard applications H.pylori, S. Typhimurium, and S. flexneri pose. However, in consideration of the environmental and ecological issues, all substances contaminated by E. coli BL21(DE3) will be sterilized before disposal and will be discarded in the biohazardous bin.
All enzymes and genetic materials (including cagA_ pUC57, 16S_ pUC57, ipaH_ pUC57, invA_ pUC57, FnCas-12a_ pET-28a, and so on) pose minimum risks to our health. Furthermore, all lab apparatus is uncontaminated and was sterilized or cleaned before use.
Our experiment doesn’t consist of any human or animal parts or genes. And all genetic modifications that were established in our process are limited to research purposes.
