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.

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Polycationic Peptide Engineering of Phage Endolysins Expands Host Range and Enhances Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities Against Bacillus Species

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2788-2801, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The exponential rise in antimicrobial resistance has highlighted the urgent need for the development of alternative antibacterial strategies, including phage‐derived and engineered protein agents such as endolysins and artilysins. In this study, we report the rational design, expression, and functional characterization of novel artilysins ...

Antibiofilm Activity of a Thermoformable Material Loaded With Essential Oil Solution

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Interest in antimicrobial surfaces for dental devices, such as aligners and brackets, is growing. These surfaces are designed to retard biofilm formation. One approach is to load essential oils (EOs) into the material. The focus of this study was the antibacterial, anti‐biofilm, and anti‐inflammatory activities of an EO solution ...

Multifaceted Suppression of Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes: In Vitro Study of a Cellular Status With Reduced Agr Activity and Impaired Biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Finding of in vitro S. aureus status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm. ABSTRACT Anti‐quorum sensing (QS) therapy has been focused on to reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. However, there is a risk that suppression of the staphylococcal QS Agr system might promote biofilm formation.

Carotenoid‐Rich Pigment Extract From Micrococcus terreus SK34 Induces Apoptosis in SH‐SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells: Integrated Metabolomic, Molecular Docking, and Experimental Validation

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Carotenoid extract from Micrococcus terreus SK34 was characterized by LC‐Q‐TOF‐MS and evaluated for its in vitro anticancer potential. The extract exhibited selective cytotoxicity against different cancer cell lines, particularly neuroblastoma cells (SH‐SY5Y), while sparing normal cells.
