and Methods
[0114]Bacterial Strains and Cell Culture Conditions.
[0115]pAKgfp1 plasmid was obtained from Addgene for TEM-1 β-lactamase resistance gene, bla (43). The plasmid was cloned into chemically competent Zymo DH5a E. coli (Expressys). Untransformed Zymo DH5a was used as a control strain for β-lactamase activity assays. Liquid cultures were grown in 2% LB, incubated at 37° C. and shaken at 225 rpm. Solid cultures were grown on 2% LB broth, 1.5% agar at 37° C. Ampicillin sodium salt (Sigma Aldrich) was used for selection at a concentration of 300 μg / mL for MIC and CFU analysis. Optical density measurements were taken using a Tecan GENios at 562 nm with a bandwidth of 35 nm. All bacterial freezer stocks were stored in 40% glycerol at −80° C.
[0116]MG1655 E. coli cultures were started from individual colonies from 2% LB and 1.5% agar into M9 media. They were diluted 1:10,000 from overnight culture into fresh M9 with respective treatment and grown at 37° C. with 225 rpm shaking. Clini

the Ribosomal Binding Site and Translation Start Site Reverts β-Lactamase Resistance
[0137]Protein functional sites on mRNA have been shown to be effective antisense sites for blocking ribosomal binding and migration. These include the ribosomal binding site (RBS) and translation start site (TSS), which are located in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR). The antisense oligomers disclosed and described herein are predicted to sterically hinder the ribosome. In order to prevent the production of truncated, but potentially active, β-lactamase enzyme, the 5′ UTR of bla mRNA was targeted (27).
[0138]Three different antisense oligomers were designed against target sites proximal to the 5′ UTR of bla mRNA: α-RBS; α-TSS; and α-YUNR (FIGS. 1B and 6) (28). Antisense oligomers were designed with the target sequence in the middle of the oligomer, with 3-5 nucleotides flanking the overlapping region (27). To prevent translation of β-lactamase, two short 12-mer antisense oligomers—α-RBS (C-ATAACTTTTTCC-N
