Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) revealing chemical variation during biofilm formation: from initial attachment to mature biofilm

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has recently been proved to be a promising technique for characterizing the chemical composition of the biofilm matrix. In the present study, to fully understand the chemical variations during biofilm formation, SERS based on silver colloidal nanoparticles was applied to evaluate the chemical components in the matrix of biofilm at different growth phases, including initial attached bacteria, colonies, and mature biofilm. Meanwhile, atomic force microscopy was also applied to study the changes of biofilm morphology. Three model bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, and Bacillus subtilis, were used to cultivate biofilms. The results showed that the content of carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids in the biofilm matrix increased significantly along with the biofilm growth of the three bacteria judging from the intensities and appearance probabilities of related marker peaks in the SERS spectra. The content of lipids, however, only increased in the Gram-negative biofilms (E. coli and P. putida) rather than the Gram-positive biofilm (B. subtilis). Our findings strongly suggest the SERS has significant potential for studying chemical variations during biofilm formation.     

Design,synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies of N-(pyridin-2-yl)-benzamides derivatives as quorum sensing inhibitors

The emergence of bacterial resistance against chemical treatment is a big threat to the efficacy of bacterial infection treatment. One of the major reasons for resistance to antimicrobial agents is growth of microorganisms in biofilm. An alternative treatment by developing novel anti-biofilm agents had led to the concept of quorum sensing (QS) inhibition, which primarily targets QS signaling system by disrupting cell-cell communication. Therefore, this study focuses to develop novel antimicrobial agents which work by QS inhibition and act as anti-biofilm agents against Bacillus Subtilis and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. In this work, a natural product-like scaffolds from Asinex library were screened and N-pyridin-2-yl-benzamide moiety was chosen to design and synthesize. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for potential anti-biofilm activity for the aforesaid microorganisms and also checked for cell viability assay, where two potent compounds 3a and 3c showed their static biofilm activity to ∼59% and ∼58% at 100 μM, respectively against Bacillus subtilis. These synthesized compounds were investigated for physicochemical parameters and binding mode prediction through molecular modelling tools. The interactions and stability of these compounds showed better affinity towards TasA and LasR proteins from Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulation for 100 ns was executed in order to appreciate the stability of the protein and ligand complex. The overall results promised that N-pyridin-2-yl-benzamide derivatives can be discovered as a lead in developing potent anti-quorum sensing agents against various bacteria.     

Antifouling and antipredatory activity of natural products of the seaweeds Dictyota dichotoma and Chaetomorpha linoides

The seaweeds Dictyota dichotoma and Chaetomorpha linoides from the southeast coast of India were screened for anti-microfouling activity against biofilm bacteria, anti-macrofouling activity against brown mussels and feeding deterrence activity against the sea angel Monodactylus kottelati. The surface associated epiphytic bacteria were also isolated from seaweeds and screened for activity against biofilm bacteria. The acetone extracts showed a wide spectrum activity against biofilm bacteria and the algal metabolite was surface concentrated and non-polar in nature. The seaweeds also inhibited byssus production and attachment in brown mussels, and deterred feeding in the sea angel. The lower epiphytic bacterial number on the seaweed's surface compared to the surrounding seawater medium indicated selective inhibition or surface mediation. The epiphytic bacteria, which showed activity against biofilm bacteria, might also possibly play a role in seaweed defence strategies. The 50% deterrence of feeding activity at lower concentrations was not proportionate to the 100% inhibition concentration, which could be attributed to the adaptability of the fishes, an indication that the active substances are inhibitory in nature. This was further substantiated with the 100% recovery of mussels in a toxicity assay and the lower EC(50) values than LC(50) values in the mussel bioassay. The study indicates that the metabolites of both seaweeds have ecological significance and could possibly play a multifunctional role.

The effect of frequency and power density on the ultrasonically-enhanced killing of biofilm-sequestered Escherichia coli

Infection on implanted medical devices is a critical concern because the bacteria are recalcitrant to antibiotic therapy; currently the only way to eliminate the infection is to remove the device. We have found that low-frequency ultrasound renders bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics. The effect of low-intensity ultrasound on the enhancement of antibiotic action against biofilm bacteria was measured by subjecting thick E. coli biofilms for 2 h at 37°C to one of four conditions: (1) incubation in nutrient broth; (2) incubation in nutrient broth with antibiotic; (3) ultrasonication in nutrient broth without antibiotic; and (4) ultrasonication in nutrient broth with antibiotic. Two frequencies (70 and 500 kHz) and several ultrasonic intensities were examined, ranging from 2 to 200 mW/cm². It was determined that low-intensity ultrasound significantly enhanced killing of biofilm E. coli by gentamicin. This enhancement increased with increasing ultrasonic intensity and decreased with increasing frequency. A mathematical model of ultrasonically-enhanced transport in cylindrical pores and channels shows that gentamicin transport increases with ultrasonic intensity and decreases with increasing frequency. However, the magnitude of increased transport is so small that it is difficult to attribute enhanced killing of bacteria to enhanced antibiotic transport through the pores and channels of the biofilm; therefore, other mechanisms must play a role. The use of low-intensity ultrasound in conjunction with antibiotic treatment may prove to be a viable clinical method of eliminating biofilm infections from the surfaces of implanted medical devices.     

Acute Toxicity Assay Based on Electrochemical Method for Detection of Antibiotic Residues in Water

In this work, the bacteria suspended in solution or immobilized in the biofilm were employed to study whether bacterial electrochemistry can reflect the impacts of the antibiotic residues in water on microorganisms. In the sensing system with immobilized bacteria, the tested antibiotics of 10∼40 mg/L showed an opportunity to inhibit respiration over a short time and the combined effect of these antibiotics exhibited a complex dose-dependence. The resistance was induced for the immobilized bacteria in the repeated measurement over a long-term period, which was fortunately solved by refreshing the biofilm via a nutrient supplementation. In the solution system, bacterial respirations were promoted by the tested antibiotics even at concentrations up to 160 mg/L, but β-glucosidase activity was inhibited by only 0.05 mg/L antibiotic. Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ were further inducted in the suspended system, and the combination of metals and antibiotics showed an obvious antagonistic effect. Real water detection indicated that the bacterial electrochemical method was expected to warn the water qualities with a sudden change by an appropriate testing condition.     

Bioprospecting the Antibiofilm and Antimicrobial Activity of Soil and Insect Gut Bacteria

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern in public health and current research shows an important role for bacterial biofilms in recurrent or chronic infections. New strategies, therefore, are necessary to overcome antimicrobial resistance, through the development of new therapies that could alter or inhibit biofilm formation. In this sense, antibiofilm natural products are very promising. In this work, a bioprospection of antimicrobial and antibiofilm extracts from Uruguayan soil bacteria and insect gut bacteria was carried out. Extracts from extracellular broths were tested for their ability to inhibit planktonic cell growth and biofilm formation. Genomic analysis of Bacillus cereus ILBB55 was carried out. All extracts were able to inhibit the growth of, at least, one microorganism and several extracts showed MICs lower than 500 µg mL⁻¹ against microorganisms of clinical relevance (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter cloacae). Among the extracts evaluated for biofilm inhibition only ILBB55, from B. cereus, was able to inhibit, S. aureus (99%) and P. aeruginosa (62%) biofilms. Genomic analysis of this strain showed gene clusters similar to other clusters that code for known antimicrobial compounds. Our study revealed that extracts from soil bacteria and insect gut bacteria, especially from B. cereus ILBB55, could be potential candidates for drug discovery to treat infectious diseases and inhibit S. aureus and P. aeruginosa biofilms.     

Investigation of Antibacterial Activity of Two Kinds of Novel Schiff Bases on Escherichia coli by Microcalorimetry

The microcalorimetric method was used to study the antibacterial activity of two newly synthesized Schiff basecompounds(H_2L~(3')and H_2L~3)on Escherichia coli,trying to obtain the action on both of multiplying bacteria andnon-multiplying bacteria at one experiment.The metabolic power-time curves of the bacteria treated with the com-pounds were obtained,and the thermokinetic parameters were analyzed,from which the antibacterial activities ofthese compounds were evaluated.The results showed that both of the two compounds have good activity on aerobicmultiplying metabolism of E.coli,with the value of IC_(50)75.8 and 168.8 mg/L respectively,but have not effectiveaction on fermentation metabolism of E.coli.The action of the compounds on the non-multiplying metabolism wasinvestigated by taking the heat output of E.coli in the stationary phase as the guideline of the activity.The value ofMSC_(50)(minimum stationary-cidal concentration 50)of them is 118 and 187.5 mg/L,respectively.So,H_2L~(3')hasstronger antibacterial action on E.coli than H_2L~3 either for multiplying bacteria or non-multiplying bacteria,andtheir activity on the aerobic multiplying bacteria of E.coli is mainly shown.It does strongly suggest that the calo-rimetric method should play an important role in the fight against the drug-resistant bacteria.
