Anti-Therapeutic Action: limited effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria

Comparative Analysis of Freeze-Dried Pleurotus ostreatus Mushroom Powders on Probiotic and Harmful Bacteria and Its Bioactive Compounds

Researchers studied oyster mushrooms processed in different ways to understand their health benefits. The study found that cooked oyster mushroom powders can kill harmful bacteria and promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. These mushrooms also contain special particles called carbon nanodots that form during cooking and may enhance their health-promoting effects. The findings suggest oyster mushrooms could help maintain a healthy gut microbiota naturally.

The endophytic fungus Cosmosporella sp. VM-42 from Vinca minor is a source of bioactive compounds with potent activity against drug-resistant bacteria

Scientists discovered a fungus living inside a medicinal plant called Vinca minor that produces compounds capable of killing drug-resistant bacteria like MRSA. They isolated the main active compound, nectriapyrone, and found it effectively stops the growth of these dangerous bacteria in laboratory tests. The fungus appears to be a promising source of new antibacterial drugs that could help combat the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant infections.
