Enhanced killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria enabled by massively parallel combinatorial genetics

New therapeutic strategies are needed to treat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, which constitute a major growing threat to human health. Here, we use a high-throughput technology to identify combinatorial genetic perturbations that can enhance the killing of drug-resistant bacteria with...
