Induction of Probiotic Strain Enterococcus faecium EF1 on the Production of Cytokines, Superoxide Anion and Prostaglandin E2 in a Macrophage Cell Line [PDF]

open access: yesPakistan Veterinary Journal, 2012
Immunological effects of probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium EF1 was evaluated through the production of cytokines, superoxide anion (O2.-) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. In addition, the responses were contrasted

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

233 nm far‐UV‐C radiation for biofilm inactivation

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Based on tests to assess biofilm formation potential (crystal violet staining, color of colonies grown on Congo red agar and calcofluor agar), three bacterial genera/species/strains (Staphylococcus (S.) epidermidis, S. aureus, Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa) were selected for analysis of their biofilm matrix composition.

Clinical Significance of Organ Preservation Fluid Cultures in Pediatric Abdominal Solid Organ Transplantation

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In this pediatric abdominal solid organ transplant cohort, preservation fluid‐related infections were rare but occurred in infant liver transplant recipients whose preservation fluid cultures grew pathogenic organisms. These findings suggest that routine bacterial preservation fluid cultures may be most useful for identifying clinically significant ...

Programming Gut Microbiome Function Through Cross‐Feeding: From Ecological Mechanisms to Live Biotherapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
This graphical abstract presents gut microbial cross‐feeding through a Mechanism–Technology–Application framework. It summarizes major resource‐transfer modes, the experimental and computational tools used to establish causality, and potential interventions involving dietary substrates, live biotherapeutic products, and engineered microbes.
