Bacteria hijack viruses to shuffle DNA, offering clues to antibiotic resistance

Researchers explain GTA mechanism and potential applications

1 Sep 16 · 8d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 1 of 2

Scientists explain how GTAs function—bacteria package random gene samples into virus-like structures, which transfer genetic material to target cells—and note that studying this process may help combat antibiotic resistance and advance biotechnology.

“Some bacteria have transformed these infectious invaders into gene transfer agents (GTAs) that help them exchange genetic material among themselves.”
