Can we crispr resistant bacteria to be susceptible to penicillin/antibiotics again?
- ccozan 10y agoInteresting idea. So you would first infect voluntarily with a custom virus that targets the bacteria by using CRISPR to remove the DNA strand of the resistance, then simply use the usual antibiotics to kill it.
- mathw 10y agoAt that point couldn't you just make a custom virus which kills the bacteria, so it happens in one step?
