Article Reviewed: High levels of f***l bacteria in Sangam waters at Maha Kumbh: Report
Original Source: The Times of India
Presenter: Aliza Fatima
Date Presented: 15 October 2025

In her presentation, Aliza highlighted a concerning report revealing extremely high levels of f***l coliform and pathogenic bacteria in the holy Sangam waters during the Maha Kumbh. The contamination—especially in the Yamuna—was several hundred times beyond permissible limits.

These findings carry major implications for:
🔹 Pilgrim safety
🔹 Risk of water-borne diseases
🔹 Environmental monitoring
🔹 Need for improved sanitation and wastewater management

Her presentation emphasized the importance of continuous microbial surveillance during mass gatherings.

Microbes that digest plastic may also fuel antibiotic resistance! 🦠♻️⚠️
Shaumya Srivastava, member of the Society of Microbiologists, presented an insightful news review on emerging scientific evidence showing that plastic-degrading microbes might accelerate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
Originally published by The Hindu, this article highlights how environmental pollution and microbial evolution are deeply interconnected.
Presented on: 15 October 2025.

Presenter: Shaumya Srivastava
Date Presented: 15 October 2025

In her news presentation, Shaumya highlighted how researchers are discovering a concerning link between plastic-degrading microbes and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). As plastic waste accumulates in the environment, microbes interact with microplastics, exchange genetic material, and potentially become reservoirs for resistance factors.

This study emphasizes the urgent need to examine the ecological impact of plastic pollution—not just as waste but as a driver of microbial evolution.
