Probiotic Supplementation With Bifidobacterium longum Subsp. Longum BL21 Improves Glycemic Control and Modulates Gut Microbiota in Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Supplementation with BL21 led to a significant reduction in HbA1c levels (p = 0.026) compared with placebo. Non‐significant trends toward reduction were also observed for FBG and insulin resistance. The intervention was well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable to placebo.

Divergent Evolution and Local Establishment of Multidrug‐Resistant Shigella sonnei in China

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
• Evolutionary history and local establishment of Chinese Shigella sonnei are unclear. • Chinese S. sonnei developed into four clades and ONPG‐negative variants. • The antimicrobial resistance phenotype of Clade I was due to an IncB/O/K/Z plasmid. • Antimicrobial resistance of Clade II was due to IncFII and IncB/O/K/Z plasmids.

Programming the Infant Gut: How Maternal and Early Life Nutrition Shape the Infant Microbiome and Long‐term Health—A Narrative Review

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 2, 29 January 2026.
Good nutrition in pregnancy and early life plays a key role in shaping the offspring gut microbiota, which supports healthy growth, immune maturation, and neurodevelopment. Poor maternal and early‐life diets can disrupt this process, increasing the risk of obesity, undernutrition, and disease later in life.

Dynamic interaction of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type three secretion system proteins LcrV and LcrG

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Yersinia pathogenicity is dependent on polarized translocation of effector proteins via the type III secretion system (T3SS). The tip complex situated on the needle structure of the T3SS is required for contact with the eukaryotic host membrane and is to an extent composed of pentameric LcrV. LcrV is a multifunctional protein that also acts as
