Model-based evaluation of Targeted-Antibacterial-Plasmids (TAPs) transfer kinetics and resensitization of pOXA-48 carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli
Background Targeted-Antibacterial Plasmids (TAPs) are engineered mobile genetic elements that use bacterial conjugation to deliver selective CRISPR/Cas9 antibacterial activity against a specific target strain. Yet, the efficiency of TAPs is typically evaluated at a single time point, whereas the success of TAP-mediated...
