Bacteria exposed to microplastics can become resistant to antibiotics, a new study has found. Researchers from the US ...

In the 20th century, when a routine infection was treated with a standard antibiotic, recovery was expected. But over time, ...

Some notoriously difficult-to-treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new ...

Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid ...

Scientists were shocked to discover that microplastics don’t just pollute the environment, they may also be fueling the rise ...

Microplastics-tiny shards of plastic debris-are all over the planet. They have made their way up food chains, accumulated in oceans, clustered in clouds and on mountains, and been found inside our ...

Cigarette waste may fuel antibiotic resistance, creating new health and environmental risks. Discover the hidden dangers.

“Biofilms are pretty nasty to get off because they’re super sticky and they allow the bacteria to respond to any antimicrobial assault by enemies such as antibiotics. Once that ...

The microscopic shards of plastic found in every corner of the planet may be exacerbating antibiotic resistance, a new study has found.

Boston University researchers discovered that microplastics bolster bacteria's antibiotic resistance. The tiny plastic fragments, omnipresent on Earth, facilitate bacterial biofilm creation, thwarting ...
