New study suggests microplastics may help superbugs become more antibiotic-resistant, posing a public health threat.
Recent research indicates that microplastics may contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, known as superbugs.
These bacteria form protective biofilms on microplastics, which can increase their resistance to antibiotics.
Lab tests have shown that E. coli on microplastics grew faster and were more resistant than those on glass, but further studies are needed to confirm if these effects occur in the environment and in humans.
This research highlights a potential new threat to public health from microplastic pollution.
