Presence of Type I-F CRISPR/Cas systems is associated with antimicrobial susceptibility in Escherichia coli
20 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Background: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and their associated cas genes are sequence-specific DNA nuclease systems found in bacteria and archaea. CRISPR/Cas systems use RNA transcripts of previously acquired DNA (spacers) to target invading genetic elements with the same sequence, including plasmids. In this research we studied the relationship between CRISPR/Cas systems and...
