How is bacterial transformation used in medicine?

Answered

In medicine, bacterial transformation is crucial for producing therapeutic proteins such as insulin, growth hormones, and monoclonal antibodies. It is used in vaccine development, where bacteria are transformed to produce antigens for immunization. This process also facilitates the creation of antibiotic-producing strains and the study of bacterial resistance mechanisms. Transformation enables the large-scale synthesis of medically important compounds in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
