Antifungal Activity and Possible Mechanism of Action of the Zn (II) Complex With a Schiff Base Against Fluconazole‐Resistant Strains of Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2026.
Addressing the global challenge of antifungal resistance, this work presents a vanillin‐derived Schiff base complexed with zinc (II) (SBZ) with potent activity against fluconazole‐resistant Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. By activating an apoptotic pathway, ranging from mitochondrial depolarization and oxidative stress to fungal DNA ...

Candida auris in the Healthcare Environment: Prevalence, Anti-Fungal Resistance, and Survival on Porous & Non-Porous Surfaces

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant pathogenic yeast capable of causing severe illness in the healthcare environment. It spreads easily amongst patient populations, is often resistant to anti-fungal treatments and can survive on surfaces for

Decoding the Structural Complexity of Fungal α‐ and β‐Glucan Matrix via Statistical Analysis of Solid‐State NMR Chemical Shifts

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
Solid‐state NMR combined with principal component analysis enables quantitative classification of fungal α‐ and β‐glucan architectures in intact cell walls, revealing conserved triple‐helical β‐1,3‐glucan conformations across species and predominantly bundled‐sheet α‐1,3‐glucan assemblies with condition‐dependent polymorphism. Statistical clustering of

Triiodide Faujasites With Reactive, Ionic, Antimicrobial, and Catalytic Applications

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alkyl iodides and zeolites react under open‐air reaction conditions to give triiodide anions (I3−) inside the zeolite (I3−@zeolite), without any additive or solvent. The multigram solid, with up to ≈25 wt% I3− loadings, is active as a water disinfection agent, bacteria and yeast antiseptic, solid electrolyte, and catalytic solid for the carbonyl–olefin

Dry Cleaning and Post‐Cleaning Strategies in Food Processing Facilities: A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective dry cleaning and post‐cleaning treatments are essential for maintaining food safety in dry‐food processing environments where water use must be minimized. This scoping review mapped and synthesized empirical research on minimal‐water cleaning methods applied to industrial surfaces, focusing on their efficacy against microbial and ...

Rezafungin Versus Caspofungin in Candidaemia and Invasive Candidiasis: A Post Hoc Pooled Analysis of Phase 2 and Phase 3 Trials

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The efficacy and safety of rezafungin in invasive candidiasis (IC) and candidaemia was demonstrated in the Phase 2 STRIVE and Phase 3 ReSTORE trials, and an additional cohort of patients in ReSTORE from China (ReSTORE China). Objectives This post hoc analysis is the first time that combined data from all double‐blind, randomised ...

Thermogenic Characterization and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida auris by Microcalorimetry

Journal of Fungi, 2019
Candida auris has emerged globally as a multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen. Isolates of C. auris are reported to be misidentified as Candida haemulonii. The aim of the study was to compare the heat production profiles of C.

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
