Microplastics May Be Making E. Coli Infections Even More Dangerous, Scientists Say Microplastics have officially entered your food chain — and they might be transforming bacteria into superbugs.

In Escherichia coli, research conducted over a decade ago demonstrated that a shorter average chain length in glycogen can confer increased durability to the bacterium, thereby providing a ...

This approach enabled the in situ synthesis of gold–polymer nanocomposites within living E. coli, effectively transforming the bacteria into "living nanofactories".
