Perioperative Piperacillin/Tazobactam Reduces Early Onset SSI in Preirradiated Patients Undergoing Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1519-1528, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Preirradiated patients undergoing microvascular head and neck reconstruction for tumor recurrence or osteoradionecrosis (ORN) face surgical site infection (SSI) rates exceeding 30%. The impact of perioperative extended‐spectrum antibiotic coverage remains unclear. This study hypothesizes that calculated prophylaxis with piperacillin/

Genome-wide analysis of Enterococcus faecalis genes that facilitate interspecies competition with Lactobacillus crispatus

Journal of Bacteriology
Enterococci are opportunistic pathogens notorious for causing a variety of infections. While both Enterococcus faecalis and Lactobacillus crispatus are commensal residents of the vaginal tract, the molecular mechanisms that enable E.

Kefir: A Potential Gut Microbiota Modulator: A Systematic Review of Human Interventional Studies

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Daily cow's milk kefir intake transiently enriches gut microbiota, modulates the intestinal environment by increasing SCFA and reducing pH and oxygen, and exerts antimicrobial effects via SCFAs, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, and microbial fractions, highlighting its potential for gut health promotion.

Integrative Insights Into Bioactive Peptides in Milk Fermented With Autochthonous and Commercial Cultures Using High‐Throughput Peptidomics and Machine Learning

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This article highlights the crucial role of starter culture selection in shaping the peptide profile of fermented dairy drinks. Using high‐throughput peptidome profiling, the study demonstrates that different starter cultures yield distinct quantities and types of bioactive peptides, with excessive microbial combinations potentially reducing peptide ...

Enterococci from foods [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2002
Enterococci have recently emerged as nosocomial pathogens. Their ubiquitous nature determines their frequent finding in foods as contaminants. In addition, the notable resistance of enterococci to adverse environmental conditions explains their ability to colonise different ecological niches and their spreading within the food chain through ...

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

Keypad mobile phones are associated with a significant increased risk of microbial contamination compared to touch screen phones [PDF]

, 2013
The use of mobile phones in the clinical environment by healthcare workers has become widespread. Despite evidence that these devices can harbour pathogenic micro-organisms there is little guidance on how to reduce contamination.

Rapid identification of enterococci [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983
A 4-h method was devised to differentiate the non-beta-hemolytic streptococci into three categories: enterococci, group D nonenterococci, and viridans streptococci. All of the Streptococcus faecalis, 90% of the Streptococcus faecium (enterococci), and 96% of the Streptococcus bovis biotype I (group D nonenterococci) cultures were correctly identified ...
