Pyoverdine Plays Only a Minor, Strain‐Specific Role in the Inhibition of Phytophthora infestans by Pseudomonas Strains

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Pseudomonas strains R32 and R47 inhibit Phytophthora infestans, which causes late blight in potato. To assess the importance of pyoverdine, a high‐affinity siderophore both strains produce, in P. infestans inhibition, we produced pyoverdine‐deficient mutants and tested their antagonistic activity at different developmental stages of the pathogen ...

Contribution of Burkholderia cenocepacia Flagella to Infectivity and Inflammation [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2004
ABSTRACT Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. To understand the contribution of B. cenocepacia flagella to infection, a strain mutated in the major flagellin subunit, fliCII , was ...

Lung Microbiome Diversity, Infection Dynamics, and Microbe‐Mediated Cross‐Protection

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The protective role of the lung microbiome in maintaining respiratory health by promoting immune homeostasis, pathogen exclusion, and barrier integrity. Diverse microbial communities regulate immune maturation, enhance epithelial defenses, and contribute to antiviral responses, collectively preventing pathogen colonization and sustaining a balanced ...

Hospital‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study of Burkholderia pseudomallei Seroreactivity Among Febrile Patients in Northernmost Vietnam: Near‐Neighbor Bloodstream Isolates, Environmental Correlates, and Spatial Clustering

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Melioidosis is a potentially fatal tropical disease caused by the environmentally mediated bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei. In Vietnam, melioidosis is not nationally reportable and little is known regarding its epidemiology and distribution in the northernmost mountainous provinces.

Characterisation and In Planta Activity of Bacteriophages That Infect the Key Bacterial Species Associated With Acute Oak Decline

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
Phages that infect the oak pathogens Brenneria goodwinii and Gibbsiella quercinecans were isolated. The phages were able to effectively reduce bacterial populations of their respective hosts in vitro. However, when applied in planta, the phages did not reduce host populations and instead phages and bacteria co‐existed over time.

Chloroplast‐ and mitochondrion‐specific random C‐to‐T mutagenesis for forward genetics of organelle genomes

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
Significance Statement This study provides a chloroplast‐ and mitochondrion‐specific random mutagenesis tool specialized for C‐to‐T substitutions, enabling organelle genome‐focused forward genetic analysis. By utilizing this tool, we can screen for organelle genome‐associated traits and isolate novel mutations that are not only of physiological ...

Endophytic Biostimulant Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Enhances Banana Growth and Primes Immunity Against Fusarium Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Bactericidal efficacy of liposomal aminoglycosides against Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007
Burkholderia cenocepacia (formally a genotype of Burkholderia cepacia complex called genomovar III) has emerged as a serious opportunistic pathogen in individuals with cystic fibrosis. We developed a liposomal antibiotic formulation composed of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and cholesterol (molar ratio 2:1) to overcome B.
