Blood cancer patients with E coli infection are at risk of bacteria infecting the bloodstream. The research team has designed four bacterial viruses which use CRISPR technology to kill the unwanted bacteria precisely. The team then engineered the phages through gene editing to improve their targeting ability.

Martins Scientists have used gene-editing advances to achieve a tenfold increase in the production of super-bug targeting formicamycin antibiotics. The John Innes Centre researchers used the technology to create a new strain of Streptomyces formicae bacteria which over-produces the medically promising molecules.

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. In bacteria with unaltered tracr-L, levels of CRISPR-related genes were low. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S.
