Emergence and Genomic Characterization of a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate From a New Clone in Brazil

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 261-267, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged globally as a major public health concern, often associated with severe community‐acquired and healthcare‐associated human infections. Despite alerts from PAHO/WHO on convergent hvKp strains with multidrug resistance in Latin America, comprehensive data from Brazil, the region's largest ...

How Salmonella Works Under Osmotic and Desiccation Stresses

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Salmonella remains one of the leading threats in foods with reduced water activity, where it can survive for long periods and cause outbreaks. Its persistence stems from a wide array of adaptive strategies shaped by the selective pressures imposed by low‐moisture foods.

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2772-2793, May 2026.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

The Ti Plasmid‐Encoded VirJ Functions as a Lysyl‐Phosphatidylglycerol Hydrolase in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 5, Page 426-441, May 2026.
We identify the long‐known virulence factor VirJ as a lysyl‐phosphatidylglycerol (L‐PG) hydrolase. Like the chromosomally encoded virulence factor AcvB, it prevents excessive accumulation of L‐PG in the membrane, thereby maintaining efficient T‐DNA transfer via the Type IV secretion system (T4SS) in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Ustilago maydis Phosphatidic Acid and Phosphatidylserine‐Targeting Secreted Lipase Lip3 Is Involved in Pathogenesis

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ustilago maydis secreted lipase, Lip3 targets PA and PS and alkalinises the host apoplast, thus promoting virulence. Loss of Lip3 results in reduced apoplastic pH and decreased pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Lipases constitute important virulence factors. By targeting specific lipids involved in various cellular processes, lipases regulate growth, development,

The Basic Helix–Loop–Helix Transcription Factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 Coordinate Virulence in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Transcription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

The Rice Stripe Virus p2 Interacts With Lsm1 and Disrupts the Lsm1‐Lsm4 Complex to Facilitate the Viral infection

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
RSV p2 binds Lsm1, disrupting Lsm1‐Lsm4 association and impairing decapping‐dependent mRNA decay in P‐bodies, leading to the accumulation of unstable mRNAs and enhanced RSV infection. ABSTRACT Processing bodies (P‐bodies) play central roles in RNA metabolism and in the regulation of viral infection.
