Superbug Eats Hospital Plastics?!

A drug-resistant superbug is now munching on the plastic in medical devices—seriously. Scientists found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, already a major infection risk, can actually digest the plastic used in stuff like catheters and wound dressings. This means it can stick around hospitals longer, resist cleaning, and even weaken life-saving equipment. The CDC already flags this bug as a big problem, but now it’s got a wild new trick. Hospitals might have to rethink how they fight germs—and design their tools! #Superbug #HospitalSafety #MedicalNews #Health
