Episode 121: Microbiology Today: the impact of air pollution on bacteria

In this episode of Microbe Talk, Laura speaks with Lillie Purser, PhD student at the University of Leicester. Lillie’s research explores how air pollution can affect the way bacteria behave, specifically strains of bacteria involved in the health condition chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Find out more about Lillie and her colleagues at the University of Leicester’s research and follow her on Twitter @lilliepurser:
Air pollution alters Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilms, antibiotic tolerance and colonisation (doi: 10.1111/1462-2920.13686)
The role of air pollution and bacteria in COPD (doi: 10.1099/acmi.ac2020.po0231)

Find out more about how microbes have adapted to climate change and associated events in May’s issue of Microbiology Today Life on a Changing Planet. (https://microbiologysociety.org/publication/current-issue/life-on-a-changing-planet.html)
