Encapsulated bacteria act as living sensors - detecting infection and releasing therapy on demand.
We used this system to functionalize prosthetic implants and autonomously treat infections in mice.

Living bacteria can make drugs in vivo but risk spreading.
Implantable materials deliver drugs locally but can’t sense or adapt.
We built a stiff, tough hydrogel that safely contains therapeutic bacteria for 6+ months and resists mechanical stress.
