Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 751-765, April 2026.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Potential of Eugenia brejoensis (Mazine) Essential Oil in Combating Multidrug‐Resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The genus Eugenia has a long history of use in traditional medicine for treating various conditions, including infectious diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and skin problems. Essential oils derived from Eugenia species are known for their medicinal properties and have been studied for their antimicrobial and bioactive potential. This study

An Investigation of Colistin Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Iran

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background According to the World Health Organization 2024 bacterial priority pathogens list, carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) were listed among the critical priority pathogens. Heteroresistance (i.e., a bacterial isolate that appears susceptible but harbors resistant subpopulations) represents a challenge in traditional laboratory testing ...

Clinical Epidemiological Analysis of the Genotypic Spectrum and Mortality Risk in Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) Infections

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a global public health threat, with significantly increased morbidity and mortality among high‐risk inpatients. High‐risk genotypes of CRKP, primarily including K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), oxacillinase‐48–like (OXA‐48–like), New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase (NDM), imipenemase ...

Genomic and Pathogenic Characterization of an Extensively Drug‐Resistant Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Extensively drug‐resistant (XDR) avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) poses a global threat to poultry and public health. In this study, we isolated an APEC strain, SDLYRA415, from broilers in Shandong, China, during an outbreak with ~20% mortality.

Silver (I) and Silver (II) Oxide Films for Biomedical Implants: Synthesis, Stability, Ion Release, and Antibacterial Efficacy

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Coatings of silver compounds with higher dissolution rates than metallic silver offer a promising approach for delivering Ag+ ions to prevent medical implant device‐associated infections. In this study, we investigate the synthesis and characterization of single‐phase, silver (I) oxide (Ag2O) and silver (II) oxide (AgO) for potential ...

Whole-genome profiling of antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants in extensively-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates causing ventilator associated pneumonia in Egypt

BMC Infectious Diseases
Among critically ill ICU patients under prolonged mechanical ventilation, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), with antimicrobial pressure leading to emergence of multidrug, extensively drug and
