Dietary Probiotics Improve Growth, Immunity and Disease Resistance in Fish Against Aeromonas hydrophila Infection

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Probiotics offer a promising alternative to antibiotics for managing Aeromonas hydrophila infections in aquaculture. Dietary supplementation of probiotics increases fish health, growth performance, and immune responses, while reducing antibiotic reliance in fish farming.

Contribution of spores to the ability of Clostridium difficile to adhere to surfaces. [PDF]

, 2012
Clostridium difficile is the commonest cause of hospital-acquired infection in the United Kingdom. We characterized the abilities of 21 clinical isolates to form spores; to adhere to inorganic and organic surfaces, including stainless steel and human ...

Gut Commensal Klebsiella pneumoniae Extracellular Vesicles Shape a Liver Microenvironment Conducive to Gut‐Liver Bacterial Translocation and Pro‐Tumorigenic Processes

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging mediators of host–microbe communication; however, their role in human disease remains unclear. Here, we identify two bacterial small tRNAs (tsRNAs) enriched in gut commensal Klebsiella pneumoniae‐derived EVs (KpEVs) that are markedly elevated in the serum of patients with hepatocellular ...

Hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous)Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Virulence, 2013
A new hypervirulent (hypermucoviscous) variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged. First described in the Asian Pacific Rim, it now increasingly recognized in Western countries. Defining clinical features are the ability to cause serious, life-threatening community-acquired infection in younger healthy hosts, including liver abscess, pneumonia ...

Comparative Proteomic Profiling of Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains and the Corresponding Outer Membrane Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a global threat due to the convergence of carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play important roles in bacterial pathogenicity, yet their functional coordination with strains remains unclear.

Bactericidal, Bacteriostatic, and Fungicidal Activities of Clausena anisata Fruit and Its Compounds, Stigmasteryl 3‐Palmitate (a Phytosterol Ester) and Phellopterin (a Furanocoumarin), Against Some Clinical Pathogens

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
C. anisata fruit extract and its compounds demonstrated potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity, notably against Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC 0.625 mg/mL; MLC 2.5 mg/mL) and Candida albicans (MIC 0.0781 mg/mL; MLC 0.625 mg/mL). The findings highlight promising bactericidal and fungicidal potential of stigmasteryl 3‐palmitate and phellopterin against

The emergence of ‘hypervirulence’ in Clostridium difficile

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2010
The impact of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) in healthcare settings throughout the developed world is considerable in terms of mortality, morbidity, and disease management. The incidence of CDAD has risen dramatically since the turn of this century, concomitant with the emergence of so-called hypervirulent strains which are thought to ...
