Antibiotic resistance is on the rise and has the potential to devastate communities around the world. To curb the spread of antibiotic resistance, researchers must improve their understanding of how bacteria develop resistance and devise innovative approaches to combat this global health crisis.
This webinar scientistStineke van Houte and Simon Moore explain how they used the tools of synthetic biology to design bacteria-based systems and used these strategies to explore and modify the development of antibiotic resistance.
Topics Covered
- Designing conjugative plasmids carrying a CRISPR-based system and using this tool to remove antibiotic resistance genes from microbial populations
- Development of cell-free gene expression systems Klebsiella pneumoniae Screening antibiotics and studying laboratory-evolved resistance mechanisms
