Study Explains How Anti-CRISPR Protein Promotes The Spread Of Hospital-Acquired Infections
Researchers from Skoltech and international partners have identified how anti-CRISPR proteins allow antibiotic-resistant plasmids to persist in Klebsiella pneumoniae. This discovery explains why bacterial immunity often fails to eliminate drug-resistant genes, offering new potential targets for treating hospital-acquired infections.
Why it matters
Understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in hospital-acquired pathogens is critical for developing new therapies to combat multi-drug resistant bacteria.
