Impact of Microgravity on Virulence, Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Expression in Beneficial and Pathogenic Microorganisms

Abstract excerpt

During space missions, the impact of the space conditions (both microgravity and radiation) on physiologic and metabolic aspects of the microbiota of astronauts' bodies should be considered. Changes depend on the mission's duration, types of organisms, and ecology. Reported alterations are related to changes in morphology, growth, gene expression, and physiology of cells, resulting in increased virulence, acid,...
