Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance

November 29, 2019
Source: SMJ Mortazavi https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6605927873914130432/ Accumulating evidence reveals that exposure of bacteria to a wide variety of physical stressors ranging from ultrasound to ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation can make them resistant to antibiotics. A study conducted recently showed that the exposure of E. coli DH5α to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiation for 5 hours influenced several bacterial cellular and...
