Santa Barbara, Calif. – September 17, 2026 -- Sidero Labs has added native hypervisor capabilities to Talos Linux, allowing enterprises to run containers and virtual machines under one operating system and a single API instead of maintaining separate platforms for each workload type. The company also disclosed it has been acquired by real estate software giant Yardi Systems, which will fund continued development of the open-source project.

Talos Linux now runs VMs without requiring Kubernetes or KubeVirt

The update builds hypervisor functionality directly into Talos Linux, extending the platform's immutability, minimal attack surface and declarative management to virtual machine workloads. Sidero Labs president Steve Francis said the design removes the need for VM infrastructure teams to learn Kubernetes and KubeVirt just to operate virtual machines, while still offering a path toward container-based architectures on their own timeline.

Staten Island, N.Y. – September 17, 2026 -- Acurx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACXP) presented new in vitro data showing its lead antibiotic ibezapolstat achieved a 5.51-log reduction against Clostridioides difficile in co-culture with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), significantly outperforming vancomycin (p=0.0112), the current standard of care.

The poster, presented by Dr. Eugenie Bassères of the University of Houston College of Pharmacy, was unveiled at the 9th International C. difficile Symposium in Bled, Slovenia, held September 8-10, 2026.

VRE strains showed high-level resistance to vancomycin but not to ibezapolstat
