The Outcome of Intracellular Selenomonas sputigena and its Impact on Gingival Keratinocytes

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 131-144, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Selenomonas sputigena is an understudied oral pathobiont associated with periodontitis and dental caries. We recently demonstrated that S. sputigena binds to gingival epithelial cells (GECs), where afterwards the bacterium causes robust in vitro pro‐inflammatory cytokine production and migration of monocytes and neutrophils.

Environmental Stress Induces Altered Composition of Streptococcus mutans Membrane Vesicles: pH‐Driven Changes in Membrane Vesicle Production and Composition

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 145-157, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria produce membrane vesicles (MVs) in response to environmental stress and genetic changes. Previous studies have shown that MVs can trigger inflammatory responses and may serve as important mediators of host–microbe interactions. Given the dynamic nature of the oral microbiome, bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans are frequently ...

Targeting of Gut Microbiota by Bioactive Peptides for the Improvement of Metabolic Diseases: A Review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BPs) derived from dietary proteins modulate the gut microbiotametabolism axis by reshaping microbial composition and regulating key metabolites, including short‐chain fatty acids. BPs also enhance intestinal barrier integrity and immune homeostasis, thereby reducing inflammation.

Sustainable Applications of Thymol: Advances in Formulation Technologies, Drug Delivery Systems, and Food Preservation Strategies

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Thymol is a natural monoterpene with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anticancer activities relevant to food and biomedical applications. Its poor solubility and instability can be improved through nanodelivery systems. Thymol also supports sustainable food preservation and active packaging, although further clinical validation and ...

Enhanced Delivery of Antimicrobial Peptide via Dual‐Functionalized Silica Nanoparticles Achieves Efficient Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Eradication

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Dual‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enable targeted delivery and enhanced penetration of antimicrobial peptides into Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, resulting in efficient biofilm disruption and bacterial eradication. ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) present potential alternatives; nevertheless, their effectiveness is frequently ...

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Effects of Grape Seed Varieties in Iran: A Systematic Review

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Grape seed extracts in Iran exhibit notable antibacterial activity, particularly with ethanol and methanol extracts, effectively inhibiting pathogens like E. coli and S. aureus. Black grape seeds demonstrate the highest antioxidant capacity, with DPPH (53.63%) and a significant total phenolic content.

Oral Hygiene Recommendations From Orthodontists to Orthodontic Patients

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dental Hygiene, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 237-246, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Intro The aim of this questionnaire survey was to analyse the approach orthodontists take on oral hygiene (OH) throughout Germany. The information orthodontists provide their patients with respect to brushing and steps the patients can take at home to achieve the best results, as well as the amount of times orthodontists scheduled controls and

Universal Dental Adhesives Containing Zinc Oxide and Copper Nanoparticles Improve Interface on Caries‐Affected Dentin After 2 Years: In Vitro Study

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 970-980, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of adding zinc oxide and copper nanoparticles (ZnO/CuNp) into universal adhesives (UAs) on resin–dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS), nanoleakage (NL), and presence of ZnO/Cu within the hybrid layer on caries‐affected dentin, both at baseline (T0) and after 2 years of water storage (T2).

Isolation of Streptococcus mutans temperate bacteriophage with broad killing activity to S. mutans clinical isolates

open access: yesIsolation of Streptococcus mutans temperate bacteriophage with broad killing activity to S. mutans clinical isolates
journal article Bacteriophages are expected to be therapeutic agents against infectious diseases. Streptococcus mutans are involved in dental plaque formation related to dental caries and periodontitis. In S. mutans, lytic bacteriophages have been isolated previously, but the isolation of temperate bacteriophage has not been reported although their ...
