Ingested Microplastics Act as Microbial Vectors

Published: March 11, 2024

Microplastics (plastic particles < 5 mm) are ubiquitous pollutants that pose the ability to carry microbiota, including pathogens. Microbial adhesion is usually a sign of pathogenicity, thus we investigated adherent strains found on 4 mm nylon strips, which were ingested and excreted by wild fish specimens. Polymer analysis samples shown no signs degradation, nor have their controls, represented strips submerged in same water tanks. Both controls presented pathogens large numbers, revealing fact microplastics can be physical carriers for aquatic environment.
