Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Facing Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence in Streptococcus agalactiae During Late Pregnancy: Evaluation of Lactobacilli as a Supportive Approach

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Integrated phenotypic, genotypic, and functional characterization of clinical Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) isolates from maternal carriage. Combination of selected Lactobacillus species effectively antagonize S. agalactiae by limiting bacterial growth, preserving epithelial cell viability, and reducing pathogen adhesion ...

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections: A Systematic Review of Clinical, Microbiological, and Outcome Data From Reported Cases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Distribution of organ involvement in reported hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae cases. Studies restricted to isolated liver abscess cases were excluded. Percentages represent the proportion of cases with documented involvement of each anatomical site among cases with available data.

Multiplex visual nucleic acid detection via isothermal cascaded transcription of fluorescent RNA aptamers

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
(1) Existing multiplex nucleic acid detection struggles to combine high sensitivity, visual readout, and instrument‐free use, which is vital for rapid infection and antibiotic resistance diagnosis. (2) We developed MAGIC, integrating isothermal cascaded amplification and fluorescent RNA aptamer transcription, achieving 10 aM sensitivity, 100% accuracy ...
