Elimination of bla KPC−2-mediated carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli by CRISPR-Cas9 system

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study is to re-sensitive bacteria to carbapenemases and reduce the transmission of the bla KPC−2 gene by curing the bla KPC−2-harboring plasmid of carbapenem-resistant using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Methods The single guide RNA (sgRNA) specifically targeted to t...
