In a bid to give our drugs a second chance, researchers from the Sackler School of Medicine in Tel Aviv have engineered viruses to infect resistant bacteria with a CRISPR-Cas9 system that eliminates the genes that code for antibiotic resistance. To ensure those modified bacteria pass on their antibiotic-susceptible genes, the scientists also had the virus deliver a set of beneficial genes that encode another CRISPR sequence to defend against infection by other viruses.
it's zombie time....

Seems like a vector. You didn't pay attention in Intro Bio, huh?

It doesn't indicate exactly what mechanism of resistance would be affected and it seems unlikely it would just be a generic cure-all.

I'll just go ahead and order enough treadmills to go around the house now.

Look at your nerdy arse trying to post about science and antibiotics and shite.
You're trying to get mentioned in the smartest poster thread.
Bitch, please.

Seriously. I hope it's a glorious break through but engineering a virus to rewrite the genetic code of bacteria, what could possibly go wrong
