Future studies should focus on creating enhanced delivery systems for CRISPR-Cas13 armed bacteriophages. Future studies should evaluate the synergistic action of phages and CRISPR-Cas13 systems in clinical trials. Future studies should overcome the question of the safety and effectiveness of phage CRISPR therapies.
