Bacteria with antibiotic-resistant genes discovered in Antarctica

The primary focus of the finding Pseudomonas bacteria, which are one of the main bacterium groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, were determined by researchers to not be harmful but to have the potential to be a source of resistance genes.

They become grandparents, and when they do, they do not retire to the south of France, Florida, or elsewhere. They are really active. And that movement helps activate the body’s repair and maintenance…

Cancer-killing virus

Cancer-killing virus

The cancer-killing virus is administered to the first human patient after animal testing suggests it may decrease tumors in the colon, lung, breast, ovary, and pancreas. Researchers have successfully used a novel “cancer-killing virus” on a human patient for the first time. It has been shown that the virus known as Vaxinia may reduce the…
