Abstract in brief

This study explores using acoustic tweezers, a technology that uses sound waves, to manipulate genetically engineered bacteria inside living organisms, offering advantages over light-based methods because sound can penetrate tissue more effectively.
By engineering bacteria to produce gas vesicles, the researchers increased their sensitivity to ultrasound, allowing precise control and manipulation of these bacteria both in laboratory settings and within live mice.
The technology enables targeted bacterial clustering in tumors, improving the potential for innovative cell-based treatments and advancing the use of sound waves for in vivo biomedical applications.]
