Comparative Analysis of Chlorhexidine Derivatives and Alternative Agents on Streptococcus mutans Viability, Biofilm Formation, and Gene Expression

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Chlorhexidine gluconate and alexidine potently kill S. mutans, disrupt biofilms, and downregulate virulence genes, yet show moderate cytotoxicity. In contrast, sub‐MIC amoxicillin paradoxically promotes biofilm formation, highlighting the need for targeted antibiofilm therapies. ABSTRACT This study evaluates the antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of

Emergence of Ceftazidime‐Avibactam‐Induced KPC Variants (KPC‐25/127) in Intracranial Infection and Implications for Clinical Management

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Novel KPC‐25 and first‐reported KPC‐127 sequentially evolved in one patient under CAZ‐AVI pressure, distinct mutations remodel enzyme activity to drive differential multidrug resistance. ABSTRACT The emergence of novel Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) variants contributing to clinical treatment failure poses a substantial threat to public ...

Vibrio Community Structure Shapes the Diversity of Carbenicillin‐Hydrolysing Class A β‐Lactamase Circulating in European Coastal Environments

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vibrio communities shape carbenicillinase diversity in European coasts. Sediments serve as reservoirs of antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, which can move into the water column and accumulate in bivalves. This spreads β‐lactamase resistance and raises human exposure risks to antibiotic‐resistant pathogenic Vibrio, especially as higher seawater ...
