  • Engineering CRISPR-Cas13 Armed Bacteriophages to Combat Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella pneumonia: A Targeted Antimicrobial Approach for Pakistan (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

    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.
