    Abstract Nanotechnology presents an innovative strategy to combat the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their resistance genes throughout different ecosystems. To address this challenge, nanoparticles (silver, gold, zinc and copper) alone or in combination with metallo-β-lactamase inhibitor/antimicrobial-based formulation (EDTA/HLE) showed antimicrobial activity against antibiotic resistant Enterococcus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. strains. Furthermore, the observed synergistic effect was detected notably for silver, zinc or copper nanoparticles with EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and silver nanoparticles with HLE against planktonic Enterococcus sp. strains, or gold nanoparticles+EDTA or HLE against Pseudomonas sp. Regarding activity against bacterial biofilms, zinc nanoparticles combined with either of the reagents caused strong inhibition of developing biofilms of antibiotic resistant Enterococcus sp. Pseudomonas sp. strains, while preformed biofilms were mainly inhibited by silver nanoparticles+reagent. Microscopic analyses confirmed that the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles was caused by adsorption to the bacterial cell surface, and further enhanced by chelating agents. Hence, we can conclude that nanoparticles+EDTA or HLE could represent a good alternative to limit the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the food chain and the environment.

    Abstract Olive agriculture presents an integral economic and social pillar of the Mediterranean region with 95% of the world's olive tree population concentrated in this area. A diverse ecosystem consisting of fungi, archaea, viruses, protozoa, and microbial communities-the soil microbiome-plays a central role in maintaining healthy soils while keeping up productivity. Spore-forming organisms (i.e., the sporobiota) have been identified as one of the predominant communities of the soil microbiome and are known for the wide variety of antimicrobial properties and extraordinary resistance. Hence, the aim of this work was to determine the culturable sporobiota of Spanish olive orchards and characterize its phenotypic properties toward common environmental challenges. A collection of 417 heat-resistant bacteria were isolated from five Spanish olive orchards. This collective was termed the "olive sporobiota." Rep-PCR clustering of representative isolates revealed that they all belonged to the group of Bacillus spp., or closely related species, showing a great variety of species and strains. Representative isolates showed susceptibility to common antibiotics, as well as good resistance to heavy metal exposure, with an order of metal tolerance determined as iron > copper > nickel > manganese > zinc > cadmium. Finally, we showed that the application of mineral fertilizer can in several cases enhance bacterial growth and thus potentially increase the relative proportion of the sporobiota in the olive grove ecosystem. In summary, the identification of the culturable olive sporobiota increases our understanding of the microbial diversity in Spanish olive groves, while tolerance and resistance profiles provide important insights into the phenotypic characteristics of the microbial community.

    Abstract Background: The phytopathogens Xylella fastidiosa and Verticillium dahliae present an unparalleled threat to olive agriculture. However, there is no efficient field treatment available today for either pest. Spore-forming bacteria (i.e., the sporobiota) are known for their extraordinary resistance properties and antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was thus to identify potential novel sustainable spore-forming biocontrol agents derived from the culturable olive microbiome, termed the sporobiota, in general and in particular against X. fastidiosa and V. dahliae.
    Results: We demonstrate the wide-ranging antimicrobial profile of 415 isolates from the culturable olive sporobiota towards human and plant pathogens. We further identified five candidates with antagonistic activity against X. fastidiosa and V. dahliae. These belong to the Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus and Peribacillus simplex clade. The activity was related to the species and their relative origin (soil versus leaf endophytic). It is of particular interest that two of these candidates are already naturally present at the site of disease-development that is, plant interior. We further confirmed the presence of lipopeptide genes potentially associated with the reported bioactivity.
    Conclusions: The study provides insights into how members of the olive sporobiota may support the olive plant to ward off detrimental pathogens. It further yields five promising candidates for the development of eco-friendly, multi-active biocontrol agents in olive agriculture. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Background: Bacterial contamination on inanimate clinical surfaces is directly linked to severe health problems, especially those caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Here, we evaluated the microbial burden in these environments and tested the efficacy of a novel HLE disinfectant solution.
    Methods: Microbial contamination of healthcare surfaces [Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Long Period Hospitalization Room (LPHR) and Otolaryngology Consultation (OC)] and the efficacy of HLE disinfectant solution were determined analyzing the viable counts on general and selective media, and also by molecular studies focused on metagenomic and specific qPCR.
    Results: Different contamination loads were detected with LPHR showing the highest contamination. Treatment with the HLE disinfectant solution curbed the spread of well-adapted pathogens on touched surfaces (ICU, LPHR and OC). Metagenomic analysis of microbial diversity of the Patient Table (most contaminated surface in LPHR) revealed the presence of mainly A. johnsonii and P. putida. Furthermore, functional annotation of toxin, virulence and antibiotic resistance sequences showed a high diversity of Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas spp. In this context, specific qPCR analysis confirmed the efficacy of HLE disinfectant solution against the most prevalent and critical pathogens Pseudomonas sp. and Acinetobacter sp. achieving their complete eradication.
    Conclusion: Given the persistence of detrimental resistant pathogens, the application of HLE disinfection solution could be a highly beneficial and effective option -used either alone or in combination-for infection prevention and control with the aim to eliminate microbial pathogens and their genes from contaminated contact-surfaces and thus limit the spread to humans and other ecological niches.
