Development of CRISPR-Cas13a-based antimicrobials capable of sequence-specific killing of target bacteria

CRISPR technology is emerging as a potential antimicrobial against antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Here the authors develop a bacteriophage delivered Cas13a system for killing target bacteria and detecting bacterial genes.
