This gives me tinfoil-hat vibes to be honest. Why would millimeter waves specifically promote the growth of drug-resistant pathogens? What's the overlap?
- pitaj 5y agoLol isn't pretty much every pathogen many orders of magnitude smaller than a millimeter?
- chemeng 5y agoMy guess would be conjecture that millimeter waves increase plasmid uptake/transformation above natural rates. I think this is unlikely given the feature sizes here and the energy typically required to ‘shock’ bacteria into plasmid uptake, but have not attempted to research.
