The AhR plays an important role in modulating immunity. Current findings suggest that AhR activation serves as a mechanism for evasion of host antiviral immune response and promotes viral replication. This review will focus on AhR's role in RNA virus infection because they show high mutation rates compared with DNA viruses, and therefo pose one of the greatest threats to humans in terms of potential pandemic risk. Indeed, they include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza A virus (IAV), coronaviruses (CoVs), Zika virus, and others. Understanding the mechanisms by which AhR influences the immune response to these viruses is critical for developing effective therapeutic strategies. By focusing on the interplay between AhR signaling and RNA virus infections, this review aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding host-pathogen interactions and the implications for antiviral immunity.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143986997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent studies, it has been found that the protists are not only able to consume, ingest or inactivate a variety of viruses, resulting in a reduction of the viral load, but instead, they can treat viruses as the exclusive source of nutrients, exhibiting \"Virovory\" (virus-only diet). These small protists can act as virosomes (organisms harnessing nutrients from the viruses) and utilize the viruses as the only source of nourishment, implying the protist to multiply and grow. The viral reduction was previously thought to be only because of the action of abiotic factors (temperature, ultraviolet light, chemicals, membrane adsorption, etc.). However, virovory suggests that organic material flow in microbial communities, the impact of viruses on the food web and, the role of protists in regulating viral populations are crucial factors in ecosystem dynamics. In this review, ingestion, digestion, and inactivation of a variety of viruses by protists are discussed. Several questions can be answered by further research on understanding the mechanisms behind the inactivation of viruses, the impact of reduced viral load on other microbial populations, and the large-scale employability of these little protists in removing pathogenic viruses from the environment.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143969202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Escherichia coli (E. coli) has an unquestionable role in carrying and transmitting antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which in many cases are encoded on plasmids or phage, thus creating the potential for horizontal gene transfer. In this literature review, the authors summarize the major antibiotic resistance genes occurring in E. coli bacteria, through the major antibiotic classes. The aim was not only listing the resistance genes against the clinically relevant antibiotics, used in the treatment of E. coli infections, but also to cover the entire resistance gene carriage in E. coli, providing a more complete picture. We started with the long-standing antibiotic groups (beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides and diaminopyrimidines), then moved toward the newer groups (phenicols, peptides, fluoroquinolones, nitrofurans and nitroimidazoles), and in every group we summarized the resistance genes grouped by the mechanism of their action (enzymatic inactivation, antibiotic efflux, reduced permeability, etc.). We observed that the frequency of antibiotic resistance mechanisms changes in the different groups.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-35"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143971719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It represents a significant public health challenge due to its rising global incidence and substantial impact on patients' quality of life. Emerging research suggests a pivotal role of the human microbiome in IBD pathogenesis. Bacteriophages, integral components of the human microbiome, are indicated to influence the disease onset, progression, and therapeutic strategies. Here, we review the effect of bacteriophages on the pathogenesis of IBD and, more specifically, on the gut bacteria, the systemic immunity, and the susceptibility genes. Additionally, we explore the potential therapeutic use of the bacteriophages to modify gut microbiota and improve the health outcomes of IBD patients. This review highlights the potential of therapeutic bacteriophages in regulating gut microbiota and modulating the immune response to improve health outcomes in IBD patients. Future studies on personalized bacteriophage therapy and its integration into clinical practice could advance treatment strategies for IBD.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143977255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rate of development of antibiotic resistance surpasses the development of new antibiotics. Consequently, there is a growing threat of bacteria acquiring resistance even to newer antibiotics further complicating the treatment of bacterial infections. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the key mechanism for the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria through the processes of conjugation, transformation, and transduction. Several compounds, other than antibiotics, have also been shown to promote HGT of ARGs. Given the crucial role of HGT in the dissemination of ARGs, inhibition of HGT is a key strategy to mitigate AMR. Therefore, this review explores the contribution of HGT in bacterial evolution, identifies specific hotspots andhighlights the role of HGT inhibitors in impeding the spread of ARGs. By specifically focusing on the HGT mechanism and its inhibition, these inhibitors offer a highly promising approach to combating AMR.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143995988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information reported on this interaction from different points of view including both synergistic and antagonistic mechanisms necessitates a review for better understanding. This review focuses on the interaction, biofilm formation, and the diverse biotechnological applications of Aspergillus and Bacillus, giving special attention to Aspergillus niger and Bacillus subtilis. The review demonstrates that co-cultivation of Aspergillus and Bacillus exhibits significant transcriptional changes, impacting metabolism and secondary metabolite production in both organisms. Signaling from living fungal hyphae, EPS production, TasA fibrils, and regulators like Spo0A are essential in forming biofilm communities. Nutrient availability and pH levels, species type, and mutations in EPS-producing genes may also influence whether Bacillus will act antagonistically or synergistically with Aspergillus. This dual-nature complex interaction activates silent genes synthesizing novel compounds mainly with antifungal and medicinal properties, showcasing its potential for diverse applications in various fields such as agriculture and crop protection, bioremediation, environmental biotechnology, food science and fermentation, industrial biotechnology, and medical biotechnology and health. The use of Aspergillus and Bacillus species has evolved from simple monoculture applications to more sophisticated co-cultures and has been trending toward their synergy and metabolic optimization.","PeriodicalId":10736,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143729277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
