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

Hospital‐Associated Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria on 95 Mobile Phones: An International Metagenomic “Phonome” Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
On average, phones harbored 3.62 of the top 10 killers and 2.49 ESKAPE organisms. In total, 667 VFGs (8621 Hits) and 262 ARGs (2475 Hits) were identified on 95 mobile phones. Mobile phones serve as a platform for horizontal gene transfer and AMR development.

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 ...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Synthetic Mirror Bacteria as a Frontier for Chiral Synthetic Biology and Biocontainment

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This work explores mirror (d‐chiral) bacteria as a fundamentally orthogonal form of life, demonstrating their resistance to natural antibiotics and potential for biocontained biotechnology. Mirror cells open new frontiers in antimicrobial design, synthetic biology, ecology, and astrobiology by redefining biochemical compatibility and evolutionary ...

Divergent Resilience of Bacterial and Fungal Gut Microbiota After Colorectal Surgery: Insights From a Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Patients undergoing colorectal surgery (n = 59) were sampled before and after surgery to investigate perioperative microbiome dynamics. Using 16S rRNA and ITS2 genes amplicon sequencing, bacterial diversity significantly decreased postoperatively, while fungal communities remained resilient.

Pathways of Protein Secretion in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, and Therapeutic Opportunities

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This graphical abstract delineates noncanonical protein secretion systems across eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotic UcPS covers four ER–Golgi bypass pathways, enabling rapid leaderless protein export via direct transmembrane translocation or vesicle‐mediated release.

Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity, Membrane Integrity, and Oxidative Stress of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles: In Vitro and Molecular Docking Studies

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles: In Vitro and Molecular Docking Studies. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Acacia karroo aqueous leaves extract for the first time, as evidenced by a characteristic UV–Vis absorption peak at 424 nm. Spherical morphologies were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron ...
