Distinct foliar fungal communities in Pinus contorta across native and introduced ranges: evidence for context dependency of pathogen release by Ruirui Zhao, Susan J. Nuske, Martín A. Nuñez, Alex Fajardo, Jaime Moyano, Anne C. S. McIntosh, Marie-Charlotte Nilsson, Michael J. Gundale

“…In Patagonia, fungal community composition differences between source plantations and invasion fronts provided insufficient evidence that pathogen release occurs at this local scale. Integrating both biogeographical and phylogenetic perspectives, our study suggests that priority effects of local fungi appear to be a dominant community assembly process when introduction is done in a phylogenetically similar community; whereas, co-invasion of fungal communities is the dominant process in phylogenetically distant communities.…”

Antibacterial Potential of Honeybee Venom and <i>Monascus purpureus</i> Extracellular Metabolites Against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria by Islam I. Teiba, Yasser S. A. Mazrou, Abeer H. Makhlouf, Yasser Nehela, Abdallah E. Mohamed, Ahmed M. Abbas, Islam Mamdouh, Emad H. El-Bilawy

“…In this study, the antibacterial properties of honeybee venom (BV) and fungal <i>Monascus purpureus</i> red dye (RD) were evaluated against three multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Extracts of BV and RD exhibited dose-dependent antibacterial activity against the three tested bacteria, with their strongest effectiveness against <i>S. aureus</i> (minimum inhibitory concentrations [MIC] = 3.18 and 6.315 μg·mL⁻¹, respectively). …”
