Utilization of CRISPR interference to investigate the contribution of genes to pathogenesis in a macrophage model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
10 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: There is an urgent need for novel drugs that target unique cellular pathways to combat infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. CRISPR interference (CRISPRi)-mediated transcriptional repression has recently been developed for use in mycobacteria as a genetic tool for identifying and validating essential genes as novel drug targets. Whilst CRISPRi has been applied to extracellular bacteria, no...
