Mutated bacteria resistant to drugs found on the ISS: What does this mean and why is it a problem? | NEWS.am TECH - Innovations and science
tech.news.am/eng/news/3361/mutated-bacteria-resistant-to-drugs-found-on-the-iss-what-does-this-mean-and-why-is-it-a-problem.html
Quick Glance: Investigation Reveals ISS Infested by Mutated, Resistant Bacteria
- The International Space Station (ISS) has been a home to almost 300 astronauts over the past 24 years, but it also harbors countless bacteria. Indian researchers compared bacterial strains from the ISS to those on Earth, discovering genetic variances and heightened resistance to treatments in space bacteria, crucial for future long-term missions.
- Living organisms adapt to their environment, and the bacteria on the ISS have significantly diverged due to its unique conditions. The station's sealed, high-radiation, microgravity environment poses unpredictable evolutionary challenges for bacteria.
- The study focused on Enterobacter bugandensis, well-adapted to the ISS. These bacteria exhibit increased antibiotic resistance and facilitate the growth of other microorganisms on the station.
- The potential effects of mutated bacteria on astronauts remain unexplored, emphasizing the need for monitoring these organisms in future missions. Enhanced efforts are required to comprehend the threat posed by mutated space microorganisms.
