Abstract excerpt
Toxicological effects of nanoplastics have been demonstrated in a variety of organisms, yet their impacts on bacteria, especially on the antibiotic resistance evolution remain under explored. Herein, we report individual and combined effects of nano-polystyrene (nano-PS) and erythromycin (ERY) on growth and resistance mutations of Escherichia coli. The toxicity of nano-PS was dependent on size and functional...
