Summary
This review examines how global plastic waste accumulation affects microbial diversity, promotes diarrheal disease, and accelerates antibiotic resistance, while also surveying bioremediation strategies for managing microplastic pollution.
Advanced economic development and technologies cause worldwide plastic waste to increase many folds, leaving policymakers with the dilemma of managing it.
