High‐efficiency delivery of CRISPR‐Cas9 by engineered probiotics enables precise microbiome editing

Abstract Antibiotic resistance threatens our ability to treat infectious diseases, spurring interest in alternative antimicrobial technologies. The use of bacterial conjugation to deliver CRISPR‐cas systems programmed to precisely eliminate antibiotic‐resistant bacteria represents a promising approa...
