Researchers develop CRISPR-based drug candidate for microbiome targeting

Pharmaceutical Technology

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. A mixture of four of these phages, dubbed as SNIPR001, was found to effectively target the bacteria in biofilms.
