The global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is exacerbated by the mobilization of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) occurring in different environmental niches, including seawater. Marine environments serve as reservoirs for resistant bacteria and ARGs, further complicated by the ubiquity of microplastics (MPs). MPs can adsorb pollutants and promote bacterial biofilm formation, creating conditions favorable to the dissemination of ARGs.

Article Synopsis
  • The origin of cosmic rays remains a significant mystery in high-energy astrophysics, with supernova remnants being strong candidates for their production due to their powerful blast waves.
  • Evidence is lacking that supernova remnants can efficiently convert their kinetic energy into cosmic rays; this study explores the relationship between shock energy and post-shock density in this context.
  • By analyzing X-ray observations of the SN 1006 remnant and comparing results with models, the study concludes that SN 1006 is an effective source of cosmic rays, supporting the quasi-parallel acceleration mechanism.
