Article Abstract
Biofilms formed by foodborne pathogens such as pose a serious risk to food safety. Probiotics and their derivatives have been widely explored as alternatives to conventional antimicrobial strategies for biofilm control. In this study, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from (LpEVs) and characterized, and their antibiofilm activity against was investigated. Their inhibitory effects on biofilm were evaluated using romaine lettuce as a food model. Results showed that LpEV treatment significantly reduced biofilm formation without affecting bacterial survival. LpEVs suppressed the expression of and the production of autoinducer-2, thereby interfering with quorum sensing (QS) in . LpEVs downregulated QS-related genes associated with motility, adhesion, and virulence. They also impaired not only bacterial swimming motility but also adhesion to and invasion of intestinal epithelial cells. The surface application of LpEVs on romaine lettuce leaves markedly reduced biofilm formation and bacterial contamination without compromising visual sensory quality. Therefore, LpEVs could be used as natural antimicrobial agents that interfere with QS-mediated biofilm formation by and could also be effectively applied to enhance the microbial safety of fresh produce.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multiorgan disease caused by mutations in the gene, leading to chronic pulmonary infections and hyperinflammation. Among pathogens colonizing the CF lung, is predominant, infecting over 50% of adults with CF, and becoming antibiotic-resistant over time. Current therapies for CF, while providing tremendous benefits, fail to eliminate persistent bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, and irreversible lung damage, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies.

The family , encompassing the genus and related taxa, comprises diverse Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria found in varied habitats, including air, soil, water and glaciers. Recent genomic-based taxonomic revisions have reclassified some species into new genera, such as and , due to polyphyletic relationships within the family . Certain species are known for forming biofilms or functioning as aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, traits that enhance resilience in extreme environments like the cryosphere.

Aim: To investigate the phenotypic and genomic features of three multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical mucoid and non-mucoid uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains to understand their antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence in urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Methods And Results: The UPEC strains A5, A10, and A15 were isolated from two UTI patients. Phenotypic assays included colony morphology, antibiotic susceptibility, motility, and biofilm formation.

Biofilm formation and other virulence phenotypes under quorum sensing regulation play a vital role in the pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila, triggering the emergence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) which increases fish mortality, environmental issues, and economic loss in aquaculture, necessitating the discovery of novel drugs to bypass standard antibiotics. Here, quorum quenching (QQ) may be a sustainable anti-virulent approach. β-Lactamase enzyme obtained from Chromohalobacter sp.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) ESKAPE pathogens pose a significant global health threat due to their ability to evade antibiotics through intrinsic and acquired mechanisms. These bacteria, including , , , , , and species, evade antibiotics through intrinsic and adaptive mechanisms. Common strategies include capsule formation, biofilm, β-lactamase production, and efflux activity.
