Integrated Evaluation of the Multifunctional Bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Insecticidal, and Postharvest Effects on Fresh Ginger

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Multifunctional bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil. ABSTRACT Plant‐derived essential oils are increasingly investigated as sustainable alternatives for food preservation and crop protection; however, their multifunctional applicability under postharvest conditions remains insufficiently explored.

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1529-1540, August 2026.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Thioredoxin Reductase as a Target for Antibacterial Gold Compounds in Burkholderia cenocepacia: Disclosing the Molecular Basis of Enzyme Inhibition

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
The molecular basis of thioredoxin reductase inhibition by antibacterial gold(I) compounds is disclosed. X‐ray crystallography and high‐resolution ESI‐MS reveal selective gold coordination to catalytically relevant cysteine residues of Bc‐TrxR, leading to stable protein–gold adducts and disruption of enzyme redox activity.

Burkholderia fungorum Septicemia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report the first case of community-acquired bacteremia with Burkholderia fungorum, a newly described member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex. A 9-year-old girl sought treatment with septic arthritis in her right knee and ankle with soft tissue ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer and Genome Rearrangements Shape Bacterial Adaptation for Bioremediation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Exposure to xenobiotics triggers genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), driving the acquisition of novel catabolic functions. These genomic adaptations provide a competitive fitness advantage that reshapes microbial community structure and enhances biodegradation impact.

Epidemiology of Burkholderia cepacia Complex in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
The Burkholderia cepacia complex is an important group of pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although evidence for patient-to-patient spread is clear, microbial factors facilitating transmission are poorly understood.

Effect of Topical Application of Antimicrobial Peptide PL‐5 (Peceleganan) Spray on Mild to Moderate Infection of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double‐Blinded, Placebo‐Controlled Clinical Trial

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Topical PL‐5 spray improves clinical outcomes in mild‐to‐moderate infected diabetic foot ulcers and achieves superior pathogen clearance among drug‐resistant infection subgroups. It represents a promising low‐resistance topical option for managing mild to moderate DFU infections.

Burkholderia cepacia complex infection in patients with cystic fibrosis [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2002
The word 'complex' has several meanings and synonyms such as composite, obsession, heterogeneous, mixed and network, can all be used in its place. Our obsession with bacteria from the Burkholderia cepacia complex started in the early 1990s. In less than 10 years, we have seen the status of this bacterium move from: (i) a lesser known pseudomonad ...

Successful cessation of transmitting healthcare-associated inpections due to Burkholderia cepacia complex in a neonatal intensive care unit in a japanese children's hospital

European Journal of Medical Research, 2011
Background Burkholderia cepacia strains have been known to possess the capability to cause serious infections especially in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and their multi-drug resistances become a severe threat in hospital settings.
