Microgravity helps find new antimicrobials for superbugs

microgravity

Microgravity is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool for antimicrobial discovery due to its impact on microbial interactions, competition, and adaptation. Evidence from the International Space Station demonstrates that bacteriophages can coevolve with bacteria under microgravity constraints, and that long-lasting antimicrobial surfaces can be rigorously tested in closed, high-contact environments. For researchers and professionals, this […]
