John Innes Centre Apr 16 2026 Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).  The insights, which expand our understanding of the major global health threat of AMR, came as John Innes Centre researchers investigated the curious phenomena of gene transfer agents (GTAs).  These gene-carrying particles look like bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), but they have been
