Efficient inter-species conjugative transfer of a CRISPR nuclease for targeted bacterial killing

CRISPR nucleases can be programmed to cleave sequences in specific bacteria to induce cell death. Here, Hamilton et al. present an optimized method for conjugative delivery of CRISPR nucleases, consisting of a single plasmid that encodes both the conjugative machinery and the nuclease.
