Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

Conditional expression of flagellar motility, curli fimbriae, and biofilms in Shiga toxin- producing Escherichia albertii

Frontiers in Microbiology
Escherichia albertii is an emerging foodborne pathogen. We previously reported that some avian Shiga toxin-producing E. albertii strains exhibited higher or comparable cytotoxicity in Vero-d2EGFP cells with several enterohemorrhagic E.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Phenotypic expression of the gene‐for‐gene interaction in plant pathogenic bacteria: An implication for resistance to bacterial diseases by plants

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

Membrane vesicles in Acidithiobacillia class extreme acidophiles: influence on collective behaviors of ‘Fervidacidithiobacillus caldus’

Frontiers in Microbiology
Membrane vesicles (MVs) are envelope-derived extracellular sacs that perform a broad diversity of physiological functions in bacteria. While considerably studied in pathogenic microorganisms, the roles, relevance, and biotechnological potential of MVs ...

Artificial Catch Bonds: From Molecular Design to Network Mechanics

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.
Catch bonds strengthen rather than weaken under force. This review follows the discovery and development of our understanding of this counterintuitive phenomenon, from the molecular mechanisms that produce it to the design rules for engineering it in DNA, proteins, and polymers, and on to the collective network mechanics enabling materials that stiffen

Identification of Potential Vaccine Strains of Escherichia coli Isolates From Diarrhoeic Calves

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study aimed to identify vaccine candidate Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic calves. Faecal samples collected from 500 calves were analysed, and E. coli strains were isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence‐associated genes and MLVA genotyping were used to select 20 ...

Paracoccidioides spp.: the structural characterization of extracellular matrix, expression of glucan synthesis and associated genes and adhesins during biofilm formation

Frontiers in Microbiology
The genus Paracoccidioides includes Paracoccidioides lutzii and the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex, which comprises four phylogenetic species. A key feature distinguishing planktonic growth from biofilm is the presence of a 3D extracellular matrix

Postbiotics in Food Systems: Components, Production Methods, Food Applications, Functional Properties, and Technological Challenges

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review provides a comprehensive, engineering‐oriented synthesis of postbiotics as next‐generation functional food ingredients. It first outlines the principal production routes for postbiotic generation, encompassing thermal technologies, non‐thermal technologies, and extraction/purification methods, and subsequently examines the analytical and ...

Effects of the HDAC6/8 Inhibitor MC1568, Alone and in Combination With Fluconazole, in Non‐Albicans Candida Species Infections

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study explores new antifungal strategies to combat non‐albicans Candida species. We tested clinically approved HDAC inhibitors—Vorinostat, Romidepsin, Tucidinostat—and the HDAC6/8‐selective MC1568, alone and with Fluconazole. The Fluconazole/MC1568 combination significantly enhanced antifungal activity and reduced biofilm formation.
