An international team of researchers has discovered that plastic nanoparticles, which are increasingly present in the environment and human bodies, can bind to antibiotics such as tetracycline. This ...
Scientists have demonstrated that nanoplastic particles can bind to certain antibiotics. This binding reduces effectiveness, possibly complicating patient treatment due to decreased drug efficacy.
Microplastics Everywhere There is a growing awareness among both the public and the scientific community that microplastics are a serious issue. For example, microplastics are now found in the carotid ...
New research reveals how nanoplastics compromise antibiotic effectiveness, raising alarm over plastic pollution’s role in fueling global antibiotic resistance.
An international research team has investigated how nanoplastic particles deposited in the body affect the effectiveness of antibiotics. The study showed that the plastic particles not only impair the ...
SHARP editorial comments 1–3 continue to appear 4 regarding the claims and counterclaims that have been made for various tetracycline preparations. Specific criticisms have been made of much of ...
