RNAs Associated With Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles: Structural Insights Into Surface Composition

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
This work uncovers a new layer of bacterial communication. We show that RNAs, aided by the Hfq RNA‐chaperone, are not only packed inside Gram negative Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) but can also be embedded in their membranes. This suggests that bacteria may use surface‐exposed RNAs to directly interact with host cells. Overall, our results broaden the

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...

Cryo-EM structures of type IV pili complexed with nanobodies reveal immune escape mechanisms

Nature Communications
Type IV pili (T4P) are prevalent, polymeric surface structures in pathogenic bacteria, making them ideal targets for effective vaccines. However, bacteria have evolved efficient strategies to evade type IV pili-directed antibody responses.

The response regulator FpsR controls the flagella–pili transition and mucosal colonization in Ligilactobacillus ruminis

Gut Microbes
Ligilactobacillus ruminis is a flagellated lactic acid bacterium found in the intestines of various mammals, including humans. Although this species harbors a complete flagellar gene cluster, flagella formation has not been observed in human-derived ...

Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Gene Distribution in Colistin‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Multicenter analysis of 144 clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Iran revealed high MDR/XDR rates and widespread biofilm formation (90.9%). Colistin resistance was linked to pmrAB overexpression, while blaPER‐1 was independently associated with strong biofilm production, highlighting chromosomal resistance mechanisms and biofilm as key drivers ...

Essential Oils and Their Multifunctional Activities Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Current Evidence and Perspectives

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Essential oils show multifunctional activity against multidrug‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa by targeting bacterial membranes, quorum sensing, biofilm formation, virulence traits, and antibiotic susceptibility. Their translational potential depends on standardized composition, optimized delivery systems, safety assessment, and clinical validation ...

The structure of the PapD-PapGII pilin complex reveals an open and flexible P5 pocket

, 2012
P pili are hairlike polymeric structures that mediate binding of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the surface of the kidney via the PapG adhesin at their tips.
