Would such a technique be effective in reverse: causing a specific malformation? If so, could this be used to design "magic bullet" antibiotics for antibiotic-resistant pathogens?

I shy at the term magic bullet because it sounds like a panacea, but again yes, the technology you describe is certainly within the realm of scientific creativity to produce. If you're into molecular medicine I'd be delighted to chat further if you care to PM me.
