Small, Volume 22, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis
The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 388-398, March 2026.ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Recent research highlights cutaneous dysbiosis as a critical factor in its pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the interplay between the skin microbiota and host immunity, contrasting the homeostatic ...

The Nasal Microbiome and Associations With Environmental Exposures and Respiratory Health
Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 750-763, March 2026.This study evaluates the association of the nasal microbiome with air pollutants, meteorological conditions, and respiratory health in adolescents. Bacterial diversity is positively associated with hay fever and short‐term NO2 exposure, and negatively with temperature. A Moraxella‐dominated nasotype is linked to lower O3 exposure and higher temperature

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...
