A Post–NGP Mitsuokella jalaludinii as a Therapeutic Candidate for Gout

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Schematic summary of the therapeutic mechanisms and evaluation of the post–NGP strain M. jalaludinii PMC73 for gout. PMC73 demonstrated uric acid–lowering efficacy through purine catabolism and hypoxanthine utilization, along with intracellular uric acid reduction in macrophages.

Antimicrobial Resistance at the Human–Animal–Environment Interface: A One Health Perspective on Drivers, Transmission, and Public Health Responses

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat driven by interconnected antimicrobial use and environmental pressures across human, animal, and ecological systems. This review synthesizes current evidence on the major drivers, transmission pathways, reservoirs, surveillance challenges, and public health responses ...

On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1478-1491, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

Faster and economical screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci by sequential use of chromogenic agar and real-time polymerase chain reaction

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2017
Background/Purpose: Screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) by culture takes days to generate results, while polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing directly from clinical specimens lacks specificity. The aims of this study were to develop a

Nanopore Long‐Read Metagenomics Reveals Pollution‐Driven Antibiotic Resistance and Xenobiotic Degradation in Urban Beach Microbiomes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Using nanopore metagenomics, this study reveals that anthropogenic pollution drives ecological and functional shifts in coastal microbiomes. Pristine island environments act as stable, Prochlorococcus‐dominated baselines, whereas urban beaches function as hotspots for opportunistic taxa, harbouring a robust genomic potential for xenobiotic degradation ...

Moderate‐Temperature Hydrothermal Treatment Removes Detectable DNA and Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Municipal Sludge While Preserving Resource Value

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 484-494, August 2026.
This graphical abstract shows the overall study design where dewatered wastewater sludge samples were collected and subjected to a range of HT temperatures. Measurement of nucleic acid concentration and antibiotic resistance gene profiles across temperatures showed that HT at moderate temperatures offers sustainable, scalable sludge sanitation and ARG ...
