Super bacteria found to survive off the Earth

ISS discovered five species of bacteria … Possibility of sepsis
NASA is studying the effects of gravity changes on bacterial growth
It has been found that super-superb bacteria that do not die under any antibiotic on Earth survive in outer space outside of the atmosphere.

NASA researchers have discovered five strains of bacteria on the International Space Station (ISS), according to Quartz, an badyst at the International Space Station (ISS).

The researchers found that the bacteria strains of the superfamily were similar to strains of resistant bacteria on Earth. The probability that this bacteria causes the disease is 79%.

One of the mutant bacteria found was the enterobacter, which frequently appears in the digestive organs of man. Enterobacter does not cause disease, but it can cause sepsis, pneumonia, etc. when immunity weakens.

The researchers were particularly concerned about the health problems of astronauts. "There are no examples of astronauts who have ever been infected with strains of bacteria," he said.

"We were able to study the reaction of bacterial strains in space conditions," says Kasri Bye Kathswaran, a researcher who led the study.

"We need more biomedical research to understand the effects of ISS conditions on developmental pathology and toxicity, including microgravity, other spatial and space-related factors." . "
Although antibiotics developed in the 1920s have saved tens of millions of people from pneumonia, tuberculosis and meningitis, there is growing concern about the emergence of super-friendly bacteria. resistant to antibiotics for many years.
