A CRISPRi-based genetic resource to study essential Staphylococcus aureus genes

ABSTRACTWe have optimized a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) interference system to facilitate gene knockdown in the Gram-positive bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Our approach used a CRISPRi system derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, which involves the co-...
