Researchers at iit madras and nasa jet propulsion laboratory are conducting studies of multidrug-resistant pathogens at the ISS, including Enterobacter bugandensis, which is considered a standard hospital-acquired infection. A comprehensive study of its enhanced genomics, functionalities, and metabolic changes reveals accelerated mutations. These findings could have applicative value on Earth—not in the ISS—especially in hospitals, where these kinds of pathogen create much difficulty. The research also tends to develop strategies to manage microbial contamination in a totally closed environment, which is of utmost importance for the health of astronauts and mitigation of risk in space by opportunistic pathogens
