Disclosed are approaches to determining a sensitivity of a bacterium to a given antibiotic and generating targeted treatments based on the sensitivity. One or more antibiotics may be selected for a chronic/recurrent infection resulting from a biofilm so as to reduce dose and or length of course of antibiotic treatment. For example, if a bacterial pathogen is determined to be sensitive to an antibiotic in its planktonic form but resistant to that antibiotic in its biofilm form, then the biofilm may be dispersed or disrupted from the biofilm residence in order to clear the infection. In various embodiments, a dispersal or disruption method and/or agent may be determined based at least in part on a rate of bacterial release from a biofilm that sensitizes the pathogen to a chosen antibiotic.

Abrégé
Disclosed herein are products, methods, and uses for treating, ameliorating, delaying the progression of, and/or preventing a muscular dystrophy or a cancer including, but not limited to, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) or a cancer associated with DUX4 expression or overexpression. More particularly, disclosed herein are RNA interference-based products, methods, and uses for inhibiting or downregulating the expression of double homeobox 4 (DUX4). Even more particularly, the disclosure provides microRNA (miRNA) for inhibiting or downregulating the expression of DUX4 and methods of using said miRNA to inhibit or downregulate DUX4 expression in cells and/or in cells of a subject having a muscular dystrophy or a cancer including, but not limited to, FSHD or a cancer associated with DUX4 expression or overexpression. Additionally, the disclosure provides an estrogen, synthetic estrogen, progesterone, progestin, melatonin, bleomycin, pyrazinamide, sorafenib, or a derivative thereof, or a combination of any thereof for upregulating expression of microRNA-675, inhibiting DUX4 expression, and for treating, ameliorating, delaying the progression of, and/or preventing a muscular dystrophy or a cancer including, but not limited to, FSHD or a cancer associated with DUX4 expression or overexpression.
