That reminds me of a poster presentation I saw at a conference fifteen years ago, where a PI at a NYU tuberculosis lab put an undergrad on a summer research project where they were supposed to use phage transduction to move vancomycin resistance into methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains.
-- Shockingly bad idea on SO many levels.
I asked the undergrad if they knew what they were trying to accomplish and the danger it posed, and the student said it was all cool because ultimately the phage transduction didn't work.

I'm more worried about the experts in academia and hospitals growing super bugs.
