Bacterial immune evasion is the process by which bacteria avoid and antagonize the bacterial host response, which is mediated by the host's immune system.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo say they've made a breakthrough in introducing a new trait into bacteria found in wastewater, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.
