Microplastics are harming gut health: Microplastic pollution is altering the gut microbiomes of wild seabirds, and humans should be wary too

Scientists have found evidence that microplastics in the digestive tract of seabirds altered the microbiome of the gut increasing the presence of pathogens and antibiotic-resistant microbes, while decreasing the beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. ....

Microplastics in the digestive tract of seabirds alters gut microbiome, finds study

Scientists have been worried about the potential harms of microplastics for years. These small plastic particles less than 5 mm in length have been found everywhere because of plastic pollution - from the Earth's deep oceans to remote regions in Antarctica, and even the seafood we eat. But, are microplastics really harmful? ....

Microplastics change the intestinal flora of seabirds

The more microplastics in the intestines of seabirds, the more the microbial diversity changes, with the result that beneficial bacteria decrease and pathogens, as well as antibiotic-resistant and . ....
