Using phages to deliver CRISPR to resistant bacteria found to sensitize the microbes

(Phys.org)—A small team of researchers working at Tel Aviv University has found a way to deliver a CRISPR system to bacteria that have become resistant to drugs meant to kill them, using phages, to restore sensitivity. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes their approach and the applications they believe could benefit from it.
