PLASTIC POLYMERS AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN AN ANTARCTIC ENVIRONMENT (ROSS SEA): ARE WE REVEALING THE TIP OF AN ICEBERG?

Plastic Polymers and Antibiotic Resistance in an Antarctic Environment (Ross Sea): Are We Revealing the Tip of an Iceberg?

Microbial colonization of plastic polymers in Antarctic environments is an under-investigated issue.While several studies are documenting the spread of plastic pollution in the Ross Sea, whether the formation of a plastisphere (namely the complex microbial assemblage colonizing plastics) may favor the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) i
