Q. Which IIT is recently collaborated with NASA to study multi-drug resistant pathogens on the International Space Station (ISS)?
Answer:
IIT Madras
Notes: IIT Madras and NASA's JPL researchers are investigating multi-drug resistant pathogens aboard the International Space Station (ISS), with potential implications for astronaut health and Earth. The study, focused on Enterobacter bugandensis, a common pathogen on the ISS surfaces, delves into genomic, functional, and metabolic enhancements of these pathogens. The findings could aid in developing strategies to combat drug-resistant infections both in space and on Earth.
