Interesting idea. So you would first infect voluntarily with a custom virus that targets the bacteria by using CRISPR to remove the DNA strand of the resistance, then simply use the usual antibiotics to kill it.

At that point couldn't you just make a custom virus which kills the bacteria, so it happens in one step?
