A dangerous hospital superbug, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can now digest medical plastic like sutures and implants, microbiologists reveal. This alarming ability allows the pathogen to survive longer and form tougher antibiotic-resistant biofilms, posing a significant new threat to patient safety in healthcare settings.

Amidst the rising spread of antimicrobial resistance, hope emerges in the form of a ground-breaking tool. Progress in gene editing holds the potential to curb the relentless march of antimicrobial resistance.
Evidence is questioning the idea that deep ocean microbes are fuelled through sunlight photosynthesis by suggesting hydrogen and carbon monoxide may have more significance than previously thought.
Professor Paige Lacy, PhD, at the University of Alberta, delves into inflammatory cytokine release and its function to aid the body’s natural responses.
Aarthi JanakiRaman, Research Director, Chemicals and Advanced Materials at TechVision, walks us through Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) and ponders whether it is the way forward for biomanufacturing in the chemical industry.
Professor Arpita Bose discusses how iron-based mediators can enhance electron uptake in electrotrophic bacteria, which are employed as biocatalysts in microbial electrosynthesis technologies.
