A recent study in PLOS Biology reveals that caffeine can weaken the effectiveness of certain antibiotics by altering how bacteria, like E. coli, respond to them. Caffeine activates a protein in E. coli, reducing the uptake of antibiotics and hindering treatment. This highlights the role of environmental factors, such as caffeine consumption, in antibiotic resistance.
