Targeting the Sugary Armor of Klebsiella Species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Gram-negative Klebsiella species is an urgent global threat. The World Health Organization has listed Klebsiella pneumoniae as one of the global priority pathogens in critical need of next-generation ...

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

SiC/Si ceramic hollow fibres: A new approach to Chlorella vulgaris biomass harvesting

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4568-4578, September 2026.
Abstract Efficient harvesting of microalgae is a critical challenge for the viability of biorefineries, requiring technologies that combine high selectivity, low cost, and scalability. The current work evaluated the performance of an asymmetric hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HF‐SiC70Si30), fabricated by phase inversion and sintered at 1250°C, in the ...

Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1245-1261, September 2026.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Nanotechnology‐Based Immunostimulants in Aquaculture: Mechanisms, Advances and Practical Applications

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Nano‐immunostimulants improve fish health through targeted and controlled delivery of immunostimulatory compounds. Biodegradable polymeric and lipid‐based nanocarriers enhance immune responses, bioavailability and disease resistance while reducing antibiotic dependence and environmental impact.

Syndromic Convergence in Aquaculture Disease Management: A Critical Review of Climate‐Pathobiome Interactions, Diagnostic Frameworks, and Knowledge Gaps

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Syndromic convergence (SyCo) reframes aquaculture disease as the synergistic product of climate‐driven stressors, pathobiome communities, and host immune compromise, not single pathogens. A five‐criterion scoring matrix, composite early warning index, and three‐layer intervention framework together operationalize this shift toward predictive ...

Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides

Semina: Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, 2004
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are characterized as secondary metabolites being produced predominantly during the stationary growth phase of the microorganism. The capacity of cyanobacteria to produce extracellular polysaccharides has been related since the beginning of the 1950s.

Targeting Golgi–STING Signaling to Reprogram Innate and Adaptive Immunity for the Treatment of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...

Clostridioides difficile 630Δerm in silico and in vivo – quantitative growth and extensive polysaccharide secretion

FEBS Open Bio, 2017
Antibiotic‐associated infections with Clostridioides difficile are a severe and often lethal risk for hospitalized patients, and can also affect populations without these classical risk factors.

Synthesis and application of bacterial exopolysaccharides

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology
Exopolysaccharides are produced and excreted by bacteria in the generation of biofilms to provide a protective environment. These polysaccharides are generally generated as heterogeneous polymers of varying length, featuring diverse substitution patterns.
