A recent review finds that microalgal niches in freshwater ecosystems may concentrate antibiotic resistance genes, raising environmental and public health concerns.

The discovery of 5,000-year-old bacteria – that was until recently trapped in ice – could help or hinder humanity’s battle against infection.

The discovery of Psychrobacter SC65A.3, isolated from the Scărişoara Ice Cave in Romania, is both a blessing and a curse.
