The emergence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains poses a significant threat to global public health. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology coupled with metabolic engineering, this study explores a novel approach to suppress resistance mechanisms. We engineered strains with targeted disruptions in critical resistance-conferring genes, leading to enhanced antibiotic susceptibility. The findings demonstrate the potential of integrating gene-editing and metabolic pathways to address antibiotic resistance effectively. This research underscores a promising strategy for future antimicrobial development.
