"This challenges the notion that microplastics are merely passive carriers of resistant bacteria and highlights their role as ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically ...

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

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 ...

A new study shows that microplastics facilitate antimicrobial resistance, even without the presence of antibiotics.

Scientists have developed a new drug that could help fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a major threat to public health.

Figure 4: Evolution in various antibiotic combinations reveals an accelerated rate of adaptation in synergistic drug pairs. New technological advances, including automated parallel measurements of ...
