Syringe-wielding germs could crack antimicrobial resistance crisis

Friendly germs armed with their own biological syringes and poisons could hold the key to overcoming the antimicrobial resistance crisis, according to a new study by biologists at the Universities of Manchester and Basel. The study of special bacteria, which have evolved nanoscopic syringes -Type 6 Secretion Systems (T6SSs) - that inject cocktails of deadly toxins into rival microorganisms, is published today in the journal PNAS.
