We are engineering bacteriophage to accelerate diagnosis of whooping cough. Whooping cough outbreaks arise periodically every three to five years (in the 2010 epidemic in California, there were 9,143 reported cases of pertussis, including ten infant deaths). It is difficult to diagnose whooping cough because other respiratory infections cause similar symptoms, and common diagnostic methods can yield false positive results. Our test would be fast, reliable, easy-to-perform, and sufficiently low-tech such that it could be implemented in place of the current test and in developing regions that lack advanced medical infrastructure.
