This robotics approach opens up a new frontier in the fight against fungal infections and marks a pivotal point in antifungal therapy
A new tool which could help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance is showing early promise, through exploiting a bacterial immune system as a gene editing tool.
University of Exeter researchers have used the CRISPR-Cas gene editing system to create a plasmid that targets antibiotic resistance genes, effectively preventing and reversing resistance. The tool shows promising early results in laboratory experiments, opening up a potential new way to combat the
