Abstract
In this study, a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing method was used to study the functions of the mgrB, tetA, and ramR genes in mediating colistin and tigecycline resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Inactivation of the tetA or ramR gene or the mgrB gene by CRISPR/Cas9 affected bacterial susceptibility to tigecycline or colistin, respectively. This study proved that the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing method could be effectively applied to K. pneumoniae and should be further utilized for genetic characterization.Entities:
