Abstract

The CRISPRi system using dCas9Sth1 from Streptococcus thermophilus developed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. smegmatis was modified to allow gene knock-out in M. abscessus. Efficacy of the knock-out system was evaluated by applying deletions and insertions to the mps1 gene. A comparative genomic analysis of mutants and wild type validated the target specificity.
