"But however a new study has shown that this could create a new challenge, a new problem. The study was conducted in the Sundarbuns... when microbes are exposed to such substances right there is a possibility that they might develop resistance to it. Study has shown that there is a possible genetic transfer which can happen. The antibiotic resistance can transfer as well from one microbe to another. The plastic eating microbes can further transfer this to other microbes. thus resulting in anti-biotic resistance uh amongst microbes which could in turn have a very significant impact on human health. It could render our first line of defense, our basic line of antibiotics useless against some of the most serious infections."
