One of the most prominent problems in modern medicine is the growth of bacteria that are resistant to current medical drugs or antibodies.  However due to a new breakthrough this could become a problem of the  past.  Researchers at the University of San Diego have invented a new technology that will be utilized to fight the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.  This system is known as the pPro-MobV and it uses CRISPR technologies to inhibit certain genes.  Genes that give bacteria resistance to antibodies and can be passed down to future generations can be targeted and disabled.  This new development offers scientists a new way to eliminate the problems of antibody resistance in different viruses.
