Bacterial Communities as Modulators of Innate Immune Signalling: An In Vitro Perspective on Toll‐Like Receptor Activation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Bacterial contaminants in occupational environments may elicit an immune response. This study investigated the immune‐modulatory potential of bacterial communities using in vitro cell‐based assays and revealed distinctive bacterial species as drivers of TLR2 and TLR4 activation. The presented approach studied the role of bacterial species as modulators

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Microbial Contamination Risks From Adjacent and Nearby Land: Evidence and Implications for Produce Safety

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Consumers’ demand for fresh produce is rising due to dietary preferences and public health campaigns. Fresh produce is often consumed raw or minimally processed to retain nutrient content. If contaminated, fresh produce can become a vehicle for pathogen transmission and potentially cause outbreaks.
