            The world is currently facing a future where antibiotics no longer work and basic infections cannot be treated. Many of the most dangerous diseases which are not treatable arise from the hospital environment. This is because the bacteria have had lots
+
The threat posed by antibiotic resistant bacteria is a pressing issue which must be addressed. It is difficult and expensive to develop new antibiotics, so our project is designed to make currently available antibiotics useful again. Our aim is to create

            of exposure to antibiotics, allowing them time to evolve genes which can help them survive in the presence of these drugs. We therefore want to tackle this problem of the 'super bugs' found in our hospitals, otherwise known as the ESKAPE pathogens.

a toolkit to re-sensitise pathogens to antibiotics using CRISPR and a two-phage system, based on work by <b style="font-weight: bold;">Yosef et al. (2015, doi:10.1073/pnas.1500107112)</b>. An engineered lysogenic phage will transfer a CRISPR

+
system to its host bacterium, designed to cleave resistance genes and also confer protection from an engineered lytic phage. When this lytic phage is added to the population, it kills any bacteria that have not been successfully re-sensitised. We
−
          <p>
+
chose to target genes found in the highly-resistant ESKAPE pathogens, and worked with 4 different phages - P1, lambda, T4 and T7. Our system was modelled in silico and tested empirically on a specially designed E. coli testing platform.
−
            We will do this by developing a spray which will contain modified phages. When that phage enters the cell, CRISPR-Cas system will cut up the genes which are giving the bacteria resistance to antibiotics. We then add another phage to ensure this system

            is maintainable.

            By using this spray, we hope to re-sensitise these dangerous antibiotic resistant bacteria to the drugs again, allowing conventional antiobiotics to work. This would mean we would no longer need to develop costly new antibiotics, and avoid the coming

<p>The Edinburgh_OG team members developed the iGEM project as part of our <strong>Masters dissertations</strong> at the University of Edinburgh. Due to academic requirements, the iGEM project, PhagED, was divided into individual sub-projects to allow
 +
the production of unique dissertations. Each of us completed a dissertation based on the work we did for iGEM, and these dissertations are available upon request.</p>

PhagED: a molecular toolkit to re-sensitise ESKAPE pathogens

Antibiotic revolution: a molecular toolkit to re-sensitise
Methycillin resistant S.aureus (MRSA) Vancomycin resistant S.aureus (VRSA) Klebsiella pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterococcus faecalis/faecium Acinetobacter baumannii

Modular molecular toolkit for re-sensitisation of antibiotic-resistant pathogens using CRISPR delivered by a two-phage system.

ABOUT PhagED

The threat posed by antibiotic resistant bacteria is a pressing issue which must be addressed. It is difficult and expensive to develop new antibiotics, so our project is designed to make currently available antibiotics useful again. Our aim is to create a toolkit to re-sensitise pathogens to antibiotics using CRISPR and a two-phage system, based on work by Yosef et al. (2015, doi:10.1073/pnas.1500107112). An engineered lysogenic phage will transfer a CRISPR system to its host bacterium, designed to cleave resistance genes and also confer protection from an engineered lytic phage. When this lytic phage is added to the population, it kills any bacteria that have not been successfully re-sensitised. We chose to target genes found in the highly-resistant ESKAPE pathogens, and worked with 4 different phages - P1, lambda, T4 and T7. Our system was modelled in silico and tested empirically on a specially designed E. coli testing platform.

The Edinburgh_OG team members developed the iGEM project as part of our Masters dissertations at the University of Edinburgh. Due to academic requirements, the iGEM project, PhagED, was divided into individual sub-projects to allow the production of unique dissertations. Each of us completed a dissertation based on the work we did for iGEM, and these dissertations are available upon request.
