Fungal‐Bacterial Interactions in Polymicrobial Infections: Hidden Threats

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Polymicrobial infections involving fungi and bacteria represent a major and increasingly recognized clinical challenge, in which interkingdom interactions significantly amplify disease severity, antimicrobial resistance, and treatment failure. Rather than passive co‐existence, fungal–bacterial communities form highly coordinated systems driven

Combination Therapy Strategy of Quorum Quenching Enzyme and Quorum Sensing Inhibitor in Suppressing Multiple Quorum Sensing Pathways of P. aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2018
The threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria has called for alternative antimicrobial strategies that would mitigate the increase of classical resistance mechanism. Many bacteria employ quorum sensing (QS) to govern the production of virulence factors and

Scalable Flow Reactors for Stable Biofilm Formation and Continuous Whole‐Cell Catalysis

Small, Volume 22, Issue 31, 2 June 2026.
Flow‐induced deposition enables the controlled formation of stable and long‐lived E. coli biofilms in modular, scalable microfluidic reactors. Hydrodynamic design principles, mechanistic insight into biofilm architecture and long‐term whole‐cell biocatalysis together establish a versatile platform for continuous microbial processing and the engineering

Engineering Pseudomonas protegens as a Targeted Antifungal‐Effector Delivery Chassis via Heterologous Type III Secretion System Reconstitution

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
A heterologous T3SS turns Pseudomonas protegens Pf‐5 into a programmable molecular syringe that delivers Bg9562 into Fusarium hyphae, suppresses fungal pathogens, enhances rhizosphere colonization and protects tomato plants from wilt. This modular platform offers a transferable strategy for next‐generation fungal biocontrol.

Modulation of Quorum Sensing and Virulence Gene Expression in Escherichia coli by Extracts of Physalis alkekengi

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Root extracts of Physalis alkekengi were examined for activity against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli. The ethanolic extract suppressed bacterial growth, lowered biofilm formation by ~63%, and markedly reduced expression of luxS and fimH. Findings highlight P.

Antisense RNA-based High-Throughput Screen System for Directed Evolution of Quorum Quenching Enzymes

, 2015
Quorum quenching (QQ) enzymes, which disrupt the quorum sensing signaling process, have attracted considerable attention as new antimicrobial agents. However, their low catalytic efficiency for quorum sensing molecules remains a challenge.
