Metalloids: Semi as Metals yet Full of Antimicrobial Potential

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Metalloids such as boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te) bridge metals and non‐metals, displaying unique chemical versatility. Recent research highlights their diverse antimicrobial and therapeutic potentials, from natural products to synthetic organic and organometallic molcules, underscoring renewed ...

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Global Lipidome Workflow for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Using High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.
Pre‐extraction cell homogenisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) enhances lipid recovery by liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry. Relative to unhomogenised cells, signals for typically triacylglycerol, cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine increase, broadening lipidome coverage and providing a straightforward means to obtain more ...

The correlation of Mycolic acid production by a toluene degrading Mycobacterium in the presence of cholesterol

Biological Journal of Microorganism, 2013
Introduction: Cell wall mycolic acids (MA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis are presented as antigens that can be used to detect antibodies as surrogate markers of active Tuberculosis (TB) disease, even in HIV coinfected patients.

Enhancing Lipidomics With High‐Resolution Ion Mobility‐Mass Spectrometry

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 7-22, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lipids, indispensable yet structurally intricate biomolecules, serve as critical regulators of cellular function and disease progression. Conventional lipidomics, constrained by limited resolution for isomeric and low‐abundance species, has been transformed by ion mobility‐mass spectrometry (IM‐MS).

A Foundation for Advancing Studies of the Biodegradation of Polyethylene Surrogates by Environmental and Model Laboratory Microbes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
A polyethylene surrogate sample containing paraffin, polywax and polyethylene was exposed to selected microbes identified in this study. This image shows the surface of this surrogate following a six‐week incubation with Rhodococcus jostii. ABSTRACT Polyethylene represents a particularly recalcitrant class of plastics that persist for decades in the ...

Trehalose Polyphleates, External Cell Wall Lipids in Mycobacterium abscessus, Are Associated with the Formation of Clumps with Cording Morphology, Which Have Been Associated with Virulence

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Mycobacterium abscessus is a reemerging pathogen that causes pulmonary diseases similar to tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When grown in agar medium, M. abscessus strains generate rough (R) or smooth colonies (S).

Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis Promotes Gallstone Formation via Bile Acid Metabolic Disorder: A Multiomics Study

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Gallstone patients exhibit intestinal dysbiosis, which leads to bile acid dysregulation. Gallstone patients exhibited increased levels of bacteria with bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. In gallstone patients, the levels of hydrophobic bile acids (e.g., lithocholic acid) were increased, while the levels of hydrophilic bile acids (e.g ...

Aliphatic medium chain tricarboxylic acids in rat urine

Journal of Lipid Research, 1976
Three aliphatic tricarboxylic acids have been found in rat urine. They have been identified as 6-carboxy-5-undecenedioic acid, 6-carboxy-5-dodecenedoic acid, and 6-carboxy-5-tridecenedioic acid.
