Abstract

Warfighters face frequent stressors that trigger a surge of certain neurotransmitters. Theirprolonged high levels cause many long-t"erm health problems, costing the U.S. Navy a lot ofresources and time. Our engineered probiotics will insulate the human host from" such a longtermnegative impact of stressors by sensing and preventing a prolonged unbalanced level ofneurotransmitters.
