Isolation, identification, and pathogenic potential of Bacillus cereus from diseased big‐belly seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Members of Bacillus cereus have been documented as important bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. However, scarce information is available on B. cereus isolates as causal pathogens of big‐belly seahorses Hippocampus abdominalis. In the present study, a B. cereus isolate (SH1), recovered from a disease outbreak on a seahorse farm, was identified

Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by PVL‐Negative Methicillin‐Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Complicated by Refractory Pneumothorax: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Here we report a case of PVL‐negative MSSA necrotizing pneumonia in a previously healthy man that rapidly progressed to cavitary lesions and refractory pneumothorax. Despite its improvement after clindamycin‐based therapy, the patient experienced recurrent pneumothorax and chronic respiratory failure.

Structural Characterization and Functional Annotation of Hypothetical Proteins in the Multidrug‐Resistant Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of severe nosocomial infections worldwide. This opportunistic pathogen is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates due to its high levels of antibiotic resistance. The identification of novel therapeutic targets is therefore a pressing global health priority.

Cytotoxic Effect of Immunotoxin Containing The Truncated Form of Pseudomonas Exotoxin Cell Lines [PDF]

Cell Journal, 2014
Objective: Immunotoxins (ITs) have been developed for the treatment of cancer, and comprise of antibodies linked to toxins. Also vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key role in tumor angiogenesis, and the blockade of VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2)

Mechanism of GSDMD in the Pathogenesis of Pasteurella multocida PmCQ2

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pasteurella multocida serotype A (PmCQ2), a Gram‐negative zoonotic pathogen, causes severe respiratory disease in a variety of domestic and wild animals, leading to high morbidity and mortality and substantial agricultural economic losses. Pyroptosis, a gasdermin‐mediated programmed cell death mechanism, facilitates pathogen clearance but exacerbates ...

Secondary Necrosis Following Caspase‐Activation can Occur Independently of Gasdermin E

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Secondary necrosis follows apoptosis, but its mechanism is unclear. This study shows that although gasdermin E is cleaved during this process, it is not required for membrane rupture. Across multiple models, secondary necrosis occurred regardless of gasdermin E presence, challenging prior claims and redefining the understanding of how apoptotic cells ...

Molecular detection of virulence factors and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from different clinical specimens in Bandar Abbas

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2019
Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen. The presence of several virulence factors such as exotoxin and exoenzyme genes and biofilm may contribute to its pathogenicity.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for
