Three million child deaths linked to drug resistance, study shows

Engineered DNA scavenger for mitigating antibiotic resistance proliferation in wastewater treatment

The rising challenge of antibiotic resistance, accelerated by mobile genetic elements carrying antibiotic resistance genes, necessitates effective and environmentally friendly control strategies. Here we present an approach employing Shewanella oneidensis, transformed into an efficient whole-cell DNA scavenger by expressing a highly active nuclease. This approach aimed at enzymatically eliminating cell-free mobile genetic elements in wastewater …
