Encapsulation and Functional Activity of Lactobacillus reuteri Strains: Advances, Challenges, and Perspectives

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, probiotics have gone from been special health supplements to widely incorporated components in many foods and nutrition products. This has led to more careful checks of their safety, viability, and functional performance under realistic processing and consumption conditions.

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

Isolation 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 ...

Vaginal‐Derived Potential Probiotics and Their Postbiotics Alleviate Aerobic Vaginitis via Suppressing TLR4/MyD88/NF‐κB Signalling Pathway and Potentially Enhancing Vaginal Barrier

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Consolidated diagram of the mechanism by which L. crispatus YBR‐01, L. plantarum YBR‐01, and their postbiotics improve AV progression. ABSTRACT Antibiotic therapy is currently challenged by drug resistance and high recurrence in aerobic vaginitis (AV), making it urgent to seek novel strategies. In this study, we selected two potential probiotic strains

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

SloR-SRE binding to theS. mutans mntHpromoter is cooperative

ABSTRACTStreptococcus mutansis a commensal member of the plaque microbiome. It is especially prevalent when dietary sugars are available forS. mutansfermentation, generating acid byproducts that lower plaque pH and foster tooth decay.S. mutanscan survive in the transient conditions of the mouth, in part because it can regulate the uptake of manganese ...

Distribution and activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the microbiota of the human intestinal tract

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1624-1642, March 2026.
Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...
