Detailed explanation-3: -Engineered microbes turn a bacterium’s immune response against itself using CRISPR. Phages (green) attack a bacterium (orange). Researchers are hoping to use engineered versions of these viruses to fight antibiotic resistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) gut bacteria.
