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

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically gentamicin, directly into the bladder tissue to better treat UTIs.

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 ...

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.

Patients with a sore throat are more than twice as likely to be given antibiotics by a pharmacist through England's Pharmacy ...

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 ...

Microplastics—tiny shards of plastic debris—are all over the planet. They have made their way up food chains, accumulated in ...
