The Application of the CRISPR-Cas System in Antibiotic Resistance
Infection and Drug Resistance, 2022 The emergence and global epidemic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to global public health in recent years. AMR genes are shared between bacterial pathogens mainly via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on mobile genetic elements ...

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Prokaryotes [PDF]
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2015 Prokaryotic organisms possess numerous strategies that enable survival in hostile conditions. Among others, these conditions include the invasion of foreign nucleic acids such as bacteriophages and plasmids. The clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) system provides the majority of bacteria and ...

Non-viral delivery of the CRISPR/Cas system: DNA versus RNA versus RNP.
Biomaterials Science, 2022 Since its discovery, the CRISPR/Cas technology has rapidly become an essential tool in modern biomedical research. The opportunities to specifically modify and correct genomic DNA have also raised big hope for therapeutic applications by direct in vivo ...

Biologie in unserer Zeit, 2018 Pflanzen können von einer Vielzahl an Pathogenen befallen werden, die schwerwiegende Krankheiten auslösen und besonders bei Nutzpflanzen zu starken Ernteverlusten beitragen. CRISPR/Cas‐Systeme verändern die Angriffsstellen dieser Pathogene hochpräzise, sodass ein Befall nicht mehr stattfinden kann – eine Entwicklung, die als Revolution in der ...

Adaptation in CRISPR-Cas Systems [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2016 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins constitute an adaptive immune system in prokaryotes. The system preserves memories of prior infections by integrating short segments of foreign DNA, termed spacers, into the CRISPR array in a process termed adaptation.

The CRISPR/Cas System: A Customizable Toolbox for Molecular Detection
Genes, 2023 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their associated proteins (Cas) are promising molecular diagnostic tools for rapidly and precisely elucidating the structure and function of genomes due to their high specificity ...

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Streptococci [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019 Streptococci are one of the most important and common constituents of the host's microbiota and can colonize and live in the upper respiratory and urogenital tract of humans and animals. The CRISPR-Cas systems (i.e., clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat, with CRISPR-associated proteins) found in bacteria and archaea provide sequence-
