Hospital Superbug Eats Medical Plastics?!

Turns out, that pesky hospital superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa isn’t just dodging antibiotics—it can actually break down the biodegradable plastics used in medical devices! Scientists found it produces an enzyme that chews through stuff like sutures and catheters, possibly making infections even harder to fight. This could explain why these bacteria stick around on supposedly sterile surfaces. Time to rethink how we make medical gear? Wild science moment! #Superbug #MedicalNews #Science #Healthcare #HospitalInfections #Health
