International Space Station contains pathogenic bacteria!

Scientists using a high tech white glove in the International Space Station found a tremendous amount of bacteria present in the space station. The bacteria present in the space station is believed to be bacterial pathogens that while innocuous on Earth could become active in space under extreme conditions. Since astronauts spend many months on short trips in the space station, NASA needs to make sure that they are safe enough to handle a longer trip into space especially so they can maintain safety precautions on increasingly more complex missions.

The real question that remains a mystery is how did specific pathogens make it into space? The answer appears to be humans that enter and leave the space station can bring millions of bacteria. With the inventiveness of the high tech white glove, we now know that bacteria needs to be better sanitized for safer trips.
