genetically modified bacteria for human use
Genetically modified bacteria were the first organisms to be modified in the laboratory, due to their simple genetics.These organisms are now used for several purposes, and are particularly important in producing large amounts of pure human proteins for use in medicine.imilar bacteria have been used to produce clotting factors to treat haemophilia, and human growth hormone to treat various forms of dwarfism. These recombinant proteins are safer than the products they replaced, since the older products were purified from cadavers and could transmit diseases.
