Researchers at the University of Colorado have found a way of preventing the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a promising new discovery in the fight against deadly superbugs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, multidrug resistant bacteria such as  E. coli  infect almost 2 million people and kill at least 23,000 people every year in the U.S. To address the problem,  Peter Otoupal  and colleagues have developed the Controlled Hindrance of Adaptation of OrganismS (CHAOS) approach, where the genome-editing technique CRISPR is used to change multiple gene expressions within bacterial cells so that their central processes and ability to evolve defence mechanisms are disrupted. We now have a way to cut off the evolutionary pathways of some of the nastiest bugs and potentially prevent future bugs from emerging at all." Peter Otoupal, Co-author The CHAOS technique is the outcome of work that Otoupal and team started in 2013. They searche...
