A study found that bacteria exposed to microplastics can develop antibiotic resistance. Researchers from Boston University investigated the effects of microplastics on E. coli, revealing that biofilms formed on these plastics are stronger and hinder antibiotic effectiveness. This poses a significant public health risk, particularly in disadvantaged communities. Experts emphasize the need for further research to understand real-world implications.
