Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.Anthropogenic‐derived E. cloacae colonises marine cooling water systems, where chlorine exposure drives cross‐resistance and enhances biofilm formation, creating hotspots for barnacle larval settlement. This work reveals a previously unrecognised mechanism linking microbial pollution to marine biofouling.

Silver and Antimicrobial Polymer Nanocomplexes to Enhance Biocidal Effects
International Journal of Molecular SciencesAntimicrobial resistance has become a major problem over the years and threatens to remain in the future, at least until a solution is found. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and antimicrobial polymers (APs) are known for their antimicrobial properties and can be considered an alternative approach to fighting resistant microorganisms. Hence, the main goal
