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

In a startling discovery, a team of Boston University researchers found that bacteria exposed to microplastics became ...

Researchers were stunned to discover that bacteria's antimicrobial resistance is strengthened when exposed to plastic ...

Researchers have studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically gentamicin, directly into the bladder tissue to better treat UTIs. They did this by creating nanogels combined with a special ...

A new study from researchers at Boston University found microplastics may play a role in the spread of drug-resistant ...

Turning silver nanoparticles into commercial products could create a faster pathway to new antimicrobials and cancer treatments.

"A urine test is easy to order—but that doesn’t mean it’s always the right thing to do," writes Dr. Nick Schneeman.

Microplastics don’t just carry bacteria — they actively help them develop drug resistance. Researchers found that within days ...

Microplastics are linked to antibiotic-resistant bacteria; a study shows plants oils may reduce mortality risk compared to butter; and wildfire pollution worsens acne. These discoveries highlight ...

A study has been conducted in broiler breeder flocks to assess the frequency of target bacteria, their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to obtain a ...

Peptides designed by artificial intelligence restrict both drug-resistant bacteria and rapidly evolving viruses.

Researchers keep finding microplastics in more parts of our bodies - and linking them to more health ill effects.
