A Pilot Metagenomic Study Demonstrating Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays Utilized in Medical Education Are Reservoirs of Viable Pathogenic Microbes

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Metagenomic analysis identified 27 pathogenic bacteria including 4 "ESKAPE" pathogens (Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., and Escherichia coli) and numerous organisms associated with ocular infections. A broad range of antimicrobial resistance genes were identified conveying resistance to Methicillin, Aminoglycosides, Macrolides,

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate
