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.

Gut Microbiota Alterations Associated With Colonization by Multidrug‐Resistant Organisms in ICU Patients: First Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Microbiota profiling showed colonized critically ill patients had lower values of dominance/evenness (Simpson's index) and richness (Observed), reaching significantly lower values of information (mean difference in Shannon index = –1.18; 95% CI, –1.84 to –0.52; p < 0.001).

Lung Microbiome Diversity, Infection Dynamics, and Microbe‐Mediated Cross‐Protection

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The protective role of the lung microbiome in maintaining respiratory health by promoting immune homeostasis, pathogen exclusion, and barrier integrity. Diverse microbial communities regulate immune maturation, enhance epithelial defenses, and contribute to antiviral responses, collectively preventing pathogen colonization and sustaining a balanced ...

Interkingdom Interactions in the Gut: Ecological Mechanisms, Homeostasis, and Therapeutic Modulation

Gut Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 23-39, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem that profoundly influences host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. This review provides an integrative overview of the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms—particularly bacteria and fungi—interact with host cells and with each other to maintain intestinal ...

Urinary Fungal Microbiome and Associations With Overactive Bladder, Antibiotics and Therapy Response

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 435-445, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize and compare the fungal urinary microbiome (“mycobiome”) in healthy women and those with overactive bladder (OAB), and secondarily compare the mycobiome by comorbidities, recent antibiotic exposure, and response to OAB therapy. Material and Methods DNA was isolated from urine of those with and without OAB and underwent

Impact of Eukaryotic Enteric Pathogens on Malian Children’s Gut Mycobiota

, 2020
Eukaryotic enteric pathogens (EEP) are a public health issue in tropical areas. Yet, their interactions with the gut mycobiota remain poorly understood. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Malian children to analyze the impact of EEP on the gut fungal community.

Detection of Fungal Translocation in Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder Using a Real‐Time PCR Assay

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota plays a key role in triggering various diseases. However, translocation studies focus on bacteria, neglecting fungal elements, while fungi seem also involved in triggering various diseases. Aim of this study was to assess whether fungal elements were able to translocate in patients with AUD (alcohol use disorder) and to verify ...

Mycobiota composition and changes across pregnancy in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The gut mycobiota has never been studied either during pregnancy or in patients with gestational diabetes (GDM). This study aimed to analyze the fecal mycobiota of GDM patients during the second (T2) and third (T3) trimester of pregnancy and to compare ...
