Multifunctional Framework Nucleic Acid Vehicle for Antibiotic Sensitization and Treatment of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Aggregate, EarlyView.
A self‐assembling, aggregation‐enhanced tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (tFNA), termed TACs, enables localized accumulation and sustained release of ceftriaxone while co‐delivering antisense oligonucleotides that silence mecA, reduce PBP2a expression, and restore β‐lactam susceptibility in MRSA.
