So happy to be able to finally share this story: Can pathogens degrade plastic? Yes (some!) Does this impact virulence? Yes Read the full story below: cell.com/cell-reports/f…

McCarthy_Ronan's tweet card. Howard et al. demonstrate that clinical isolates of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can encode functional plastic-degrading enzymes and that these enzymes can influence bacterial...
