Structure‐Guided Engineering of a Ser192Ala Variant Enhances Bidirectional Catalysis in Amycolatopsis sulphurea L‐Alanine Dehydrogenase

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
A rationally engineered Ser192Ala variant of Amycolatopsis sulphurea L‐alanine dehydrogenase (L‐AlaDH) exhibits ∼2‐fold higher catalytic efficiency in both reductive amination and oxidative deamination. Experimental characterization confirms maintained stability under tested conditions, highlighting its potential as an improved biocatalyst for ...

SloR-SRE binding to the S. mutans mntH promoter is cooperative

ABSTRACT Streptococcus mutans is a commensal member of the plaque microbiome. It is especially prevalent when dietary sugars are available for S. mutans fermentation, generating acid byproducts that lower plaque pH and foster tooth decay.

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

Comparative Analysis of Chlorhexidine Derivatives and Alternative Agents on Streptococcus mutans Viability, Biofilm Formation, and Gene Expression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Chlorhexidine gluconate and alexidine potently kill S. mutans, disrupt biofilms, and downregulate virulence genes, yet show moderate cytotoxicity. In contrast, sub‐MIC amoxicillin paradoxically promotes biofilm formation, highlighting the need for targeted antibiofilm therapies. ABSTRACT This study evaluates the antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of
