Correction: Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics in vivo show potential gut health benefits
This is a published correction notice for a previously published study on probiotics that adsorb and excrete microplastics in living organisms. The correction addresses issues in the original article, which explored the potential gut health benefits of probiotic strains that can bind to microplastic particles. The original research examined the capacity of certain probiotic bacteria to interact with microplastics within the digestive system.
Microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes as rising threats: Their interaction represents an urgent environmental concern
This review examines how microplastics interact with antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment, creating a combined pollution threat. Microplastics can absorb antibiotics onto their surface and serve as platforms where bacteria exchange resistance genes. This interaction could accelerate the spread of antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat and posing a growing public health risk.
Corrigendum: Plastic biodegradation by in vitro environmental microorganisms and in vivo gut microorganisms of insects
This is a published correction (corrigendum) to an earlier study on plastic biodegradation by environmental microorganisms and insect gut bacteria; it is not a standalone research paper presenting new findings.
A review on the effect of micro- and nano-plastics pollution on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance
This review highlights how microplastics serve as breeding grounds for antimicrobial resistance genes, examining the overlooked interaction between plastic pollution and antibiotic resistance that poses combined threats to environmental and human health.
