Old Bacteria in Romanian Cave Ice Can Fight Modern Medicines

Scientists found 5,000-year-old bacteria in Romanian cave ice that resist 10 modern medicines. This shows how resistance can happen naturally.

Scientists found a very old bacteria in ice from a cave in Romania. This bacteria lived 5,000 years ago and can fight against 10 types of modern medicines. This helps us learn how sickness-causing germs become strong over time.

Ancient bacteria might lurk beneath Mars' surface

In a first-of-its-kind study, a research team, including Northwestern University's Brian Hoffman and Ajay Sharma, found that ancient bacteria could survive close to the surface on Mars much longer than previously assumed. And—when the bacteria are buried and, thus, shielded from galactic cosmic radiation and solar protons—they can survive much longer. Thus, when Mars' first samples return to Earth, scientists should be on the lookout for ancient sleeping bacteria.
