Toxins, 2018 The presence of botulinum neurotoxin-producing Clostridia (BPC) in food sources is a public health concern. In favorable environmental conditions, BPC can produce botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) outside or inside the vertebrate host, leading to ...

Oral Phageome as Potential Modulators of Periodontal Dysbiosis. A Systematic Review
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction The oral phageome, comprising bacteriophages inhabiting the oral cavity, has been proposed as a potential modulator of periodontal health and disease. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on interactions between bacteriophages, key periodontal bacteria, and the host in periodontitis.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Persistence is a transient and non-inheritable tolerance to antibiotics by a small fraction of a bacterial population. One of the proposed determinants of bacterial persistence is toxin-antitoxin systems (TAS) which are also implicated in a wide range of

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2799-2817, September 2026.Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.Temporins, among antimicrobial peptides, are short frog‐derived molecules with potent antibacterial activity. This review highlights chemical optimization strategies applied to temporins A–L, showing how sequence tuning modulates structure, stability, and selectivity, enabling improved activity against resistant pathogens.

Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.

Development of an Innovative in Vitro Potency Assay for Anti-Botulinum Antitoxins
Toxins, 2016 Botulinum neurotoxins are bacterial proteins that cause botulism, a life-threatening disease. Therapy relies mostly on post-intoxication antibody treatment. The only accepted method to measure the potency of, and to approve, antitoxin preparations is the
