Development of sequence-specific antimicrobials based on programmable CRISPR-Cas nucleases

Antibiotics target conserved bacterial cellular pathways or growth functions and therefore cannot selectively kill specific members of a complex microbial population. Here, we develop programmable, sequence-specific antimicrobials using the RNA-guided nuclease Cas9(1, 2) delivered by a bacteriophage...
