Article Abstract
Periodontal diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, are predominantly driven by the "red complex" pathogens. This review explores how glycosylation on surface molecules of , , and modulate their pathogenesis. Research reveal glycosylation profoundly impacts synthesis, stability and functionality of major virulence factors like gingipains, fimbriae and surface layer proteins in these keystone pathogens. Distinct glycan motifs facilitate immune evasion by masking antigenic epitopes, subverting immune recognition and skewing inflammatory responses. Remarkably, glycosylation signatures influence crucial virulence traits such as biofilm formation, host adhesion and invasion, potentiating persistence. Through evaluating current literature, this review unravels the interplay between glycosylation pathways and virulence expression, elucidating mechanisms underpinning glycan-mediated host-pathogen interactions and pathology progression. Emerging prospects of exploiting glycosylation as a diagnostic, therapeutic target and vaccine candidate are discussed. Synthesizing cutting-edge findings, this comprehensive review illuminates glycosylation's central role in periodontal pathogenesis.

Listeria monocytogenes is pervasive in agricultural environments and difficult to eradicate from food-processing facilities. Consequently, various foods become contaminated, posing health risks to immunocompromised individuals. This surveillance study aimed to enhance the understanding of the genetic diversity, virulence, plasmid content, sanitizer tolerance, and antibiotic resistance of L.

The recent emergence and global spread of the mpox virus (MPXV), formerly known as the monkeypox virus, underscores the urgent need for effective antiviral materials to combat this emerging zoonotic pathogen. This study evaluates the antiviral activity of five functional material films against vaccinia virus, a representative model of MPXV, by the TCID50 assay. The tested materials include two electrospun polyester fabrics functionalised with benzalkonium chloride (BAK) or soap, specifically designed for antiviral face masks.

While biodegradation shows promise for removing 17β-estradiol-3-sulfate (E2-3S) from wastewater, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We systematically elucidated E2-3S biodegradation from both microbial community and individual strain perspectives by constructing microbial co-occurrence networks across diverse reaction environments and isolating degrading bacteria from activated sludge. The results showed that activated sludge achieved E2-3S removal greater than 90 %, though estrogenic activity reduction varied with reaction environments.

As the primary biological risk threatening safe dairy production, bovine mastitis control highly relies on environmental disinfection measures. However, the mechanisms by which chemical disinfectants influence host-environment microbial interactions remain unclear. This study systematically investigated the disinfection efficacy and regulatory effects on microbial community composition and diversity of glutaraldehyde-benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and glutaraldehyde-didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DAB) at recommended concentrations (2-5%), using 80 environmental samples from intensive dairy farms in Xinjiang, China.
