A new study reveals that biofilms in washing machines may contain potential pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, posing ...

This means we need to reconsider how pathogens exist in the hospital environment. Plastics, including plastic surfaces, could ...

The common hospital-acquired, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection is known to cause infections ... aeruginosa can use broken-down plastic fragments to form tougher biofilms—coatings of protective ...

This ability may allow the bacteria to persist longer on hospital surfaces and inside medical devices—areas once assumed to ...

Nanoplastics are everywhere. These fragments are so tiny they can accumulate on bacteria and be taken up by plant roots; they ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with 559,000 yearly deaths worldwide, and many of them come from hospital-acquired ...

Demark researchers learned that antibiotic resistant DNA can survive on the surface of minerals which may increase the spread ...

The recently discovered bacterium Staphylococcus borealis, named after the Northern Lights, turns out to be resistant to several classes of antibiotics. The elderly are especially at risk.

After each washing, DNA sequencing of biofilm samples from inside the machines revealed the presence of potentially ...

New research by food scientists suggests that certain nanoplastics may make foodborne pathogens more virulent.

A new study published in the Journal of Oral Biosciences showed that electrical stimulation (ES) applied to titanium or ...
