Abstract
Aim To determine the antimicrobial activity of the bacteriocin-producing probiotic strains Streptococcus salivarius K12 and Streptococcus salivarius M18 alone or in combination against caries-associated Streptococcus mutans. Methods Antimicrobial activity of S. salivarius K12 and/or S. salivarius M18 against S. mutans ATCC 25175 growth and biofilm formation on hydroxyapatite (HA) discs was determined in a flow chamber model by recording the colony forming units (CFU/ml) after 48 h of co-cultivation. The biofilm was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Additionally, the simultaneous antagonism assay was used to assess the inhibitory effect of S. salivarius K12 and/or S. salivarius M18 against S. mutans ATCC 25175 and 21 clinical isolates of S. mutans. Results Co-cultivation of S. mutans and S. salivarius K12 and/or S. salivarius M18 led to the inhibition of S. mutans viability, thereby, preventing its biofilm formation on HA discs. Furthermore, S. salivarius K12 and S. salivarius M18 exhibited antimicrobial activity against most clinical isolates of S. mutans. Conclusion The in vitro flow chamber system used in this study allows the simulation of time-dependent administration of S. salivarius probiotic strains, either alone or in combination, to investigate the prevention of S. mutans biofilm formation in a standardized model.

Abstract
Isothermal microcalorimetry can provide a general analytical tool for the characterization of bacterial growth. Methodologies and equipment have been studied to expand the application and disseminate the use of the technique. The MCDSC is a microcalorimeter capable of measuring in the range of 0.2 μW that can operate at a temperature range of -20 to 140 °C or under isothermal conditions. Here, we present the first investigation of MCDSC for E. coli growth with the Baranyi and Roberts modeling application. This study presented the calorimetric E. coli fingerprint at MCDSC and compares it with the plate count technique, giving the data more biological meaning. The calorimeter was able to accurately detect growth metabolism and discriminate E. coli at different inoculum densities. Additionally, the MCDSC can offer a new point of view for evaluating microbial growth, such as the significant reduction in error due to dispersed data by the viable counting method.

Abstract
This study assessed the efficacy of tin and Polyethylenglycol (PEG-3) tallow aminopropylamine in different concentrations on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms to establish a new screening process for different antimicrobial agents and to gain more information on the antibacterial effects of these agents on cariogenic biofilms. Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) was used to determine differences in two growth parameters: lag time and growth rate; additionally, reduction in active biofilms was calculated. Experimental mouth rinses with 400 and 800 ppm tin derived from stannous fluoride (SnF2) revealed results (43.4 and 49.9% active biofilm reduction, respectively) similar to meridol mouth rinse (400 ppm tin combined with 1,567 ppm PEG-3 tallow aminopropylamine; 55.3% active biofilm reduction) (p > 0.05), while no growth of S. mutans biofilms was detected during 72 h for samples treated with an experimental rinse containing 1,600 ppm tin (100% active biofilm reduction). Only the highest concentration (12,536 ppm) of rinses containing PEG-3 tallow aminopropylamine derived from amine fluoride (AmF) revealed comparable results to meridol (57.5% reduction in active biofilm). Lower concentrations of PEG-3 tallow aminopropylamine showed reductions of 16.9% for 3,134 ppm and 33.5% for 6,268 ppm. Maximum growth rate was significantly lower for all the samples containing SnF2 than for the samples containing control biofilms (p < 0.05); no differences were found between the control and all the PEG-3 tallow aminopropylamine (p > 0.05). The growth parameters showed high reproducibility rates within the treated groups of biofilms and for the controls; thus, the screening method provided reliable results.

[PMID: 33538336 DOI: 10.1111/jre.12855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to establish an optimized protocol for biofilm removal from titanium (Ti) surfaces using citric acid (CA) solutions. BACKGROUND Biofilm accumulation is the main factor to trigger peri-implant infections and to increase the risk of treatment failures. Although CA has been suggested as the anti-infective agent with highest potential for biofilm removal on Ti, there is no consensus that CA could improve the anti-infective treatment and its effect. METHODS Physical and chemical alterations, electrochemical behavior, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial effect of CA on Ti discs were evaluated using four concentrations (1, 10, 20, and 40%) and two application methods (immersion and rubbing). Negative control using 0.9% NaCl was used in all experiments. To evaluate whether different application times can have similar response, polymicrobial biofilm (microcosm model) was formed on Ti and treated with CA for 1, 2, 4, and 8 min. An in situ study was conducted to verify whether the established protocol is equally effective in biofilms formed on machined and sandblasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) Ti surfaces. RESULTS CA 40% induced significantly higher surface alterations observed by confocal images and profilometry. In general, rubbing protocol decreased the surface roughness and increased the wettability (p < 0.05), exhibiting better surface cleaning by biofilm removal. CA 10% presented no indirect cytotoxicity and, when applied by rubbing for 8 min, presented proper in vitro antibacterial action and potential corrosion inhibition. When CA 10% was rubbed on Ti surfaces for 4 min, it displayed optimum cleaning ability as 8 min, working equally to remove in situ biofilm on machined and SLA surfaces. CONCLUSIONS The application of CA 10% by rubbing for at least 4 min demonstrated to be a promising protocol to eliminate biofilms formed in smooth and rougher surfaces, which could improve implant-related infection therapies.

Characterization and antimicrobial effect of a bioinspired thymol coating formed on titanium surface by one-step immersion treatment. Dent Mater 2020; 36:1495-1507.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an antimicrobial and anti-adherent thymol (TOH)-containing coating on titanium (Ti) by a bioinspired one-step biocompatible method. METHODS A nanolayer of adsorbed TOH (TOH-NL-Ti) was formed by an easy deep coating method on Ti surface. The treatment consists in a simple one-step immersion process in a TOH-containing solution. Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), potentiodynamic electrochemical technique, open circuit potential records, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and measurements of TOH release were used to characterize TOH-NL-Ti. Live/Dead staining and plate counting were employed to quantify attached and living adhered bacteria, respectively. Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity in fibroblastic and pre-osteoblastic cell lines were evaluated by acridine orange staining and MTT assay, respectively. RESULTS TOH adsorbed on TOH-NL-Ti was detected by ATR-FTIR and electrochemical techniques. ATR-FTIR results showed that TOH nanofilms development involves spontaneous production of ketonic structures on Ti surface. AFM analysis revealed that the thickness of the TOH-NL was below 80 nm. Finally, microbiological assays confirmed that TOH-NL-Ti can inhibit the adhesion and kill attached bacteria leading to the eradication of leaving cells on its surface. After 24 h of biocidal release, the antimicrobial effect is also significant (a decrease of 3 orders in the number of attached bacteria). SIGNIFICANCE The formation of TOH-NL-Ti nanolayer is a simple strategy able to be applied by not specially trained personnel, to reduce implant infection risks, ensure highly effective antimicrobial action and inhibition of bacterial adhesion on Ti surfaces without showing toxic effects for pre-osteoblastic and fibroblastic cells.

Abstract
Proper and rapid diagnosis of orthopedic device-related infection is important for successful treatment. Sonication has been shown to improve the diagnostic performance. We hypothesized that the combination of sonication with a novel method called microcalorimetry will further improve and accelerate the diagnosis of implant infection. We prospectively included 39 consecutive patients (mean age 59 years, 62% males) at our institution from whom 29 orthopedic prostheses and 10 osteosynthesis material were explanted. The explanted device was sonicated. The resulting sonication fluid was analyzed using microcalorimetry. Using standardized criteria to define orthopedic device-related infection, 12 cases (31%) were defined as infected. In all, positive periprosthetic tissue cultures were found. The sensitivity and specificity of microcalorimetry of sonication fluid were 100% and 97%, respectively. Mean time to detection, defined as time to reach a rising heat flow signal of 20 µW measured after equilibiration needed to get accurate measurement, was 10.9 h. In summary, microcalorimetry of sonication fluid is a reliable and a fast method in detecting the presence of microorganisms in orthopedic device-related infection.

Abstract
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, also called sleeping sickness), a neglected tropical disease endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, is caused by the parasites Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and T. brucei rhodesiense. Current drugs against this disease have significant limitations, including toxicity, increasing resistance, and/or a complicated parenteral treatment regimen. DB829 is a novel aza-diamidine that demonstrated excellent efficacy in mice infected with T. b. rhodesiense or T. b. brucei parasites. The current study examined the pharmacokinetics, in vitro and in vivo activity against T. b. gambiense, and time of drug action of DB829 in comparison to pentamidine. DB829 showed outstanding in vivo efficacy in mice infected with parasites of T. b. gambiense strains, despite having higher in vitro 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) than against T. b. rhodesiense strain STIB900. A single dose of DB829 administered intraperitoneally (5 mg/kg of body weight) cured all mice infected with different T. b. gambiense strains. No cross-resistance was observed between DB829 and pentamidine in T. b. gambiense strains isolated from melarsoprol-refractory patients. Compared to pentamidine, DB829 showed a greater systemic exposure when administered intraperitoneally, partially contributing to its improved efficacy. Isothermal microcalorimetry and in vivo time-to-kill studies revealed that DB829 is a slower-acting trypanocidal compound than pentamidine. A single dose of DB829 (20 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally clears parasites from mouse blood within 2 to 5 days. In summary, DB829 is a promising preclinical candidate for the treatment of first- and second-stage HAT caused by both Trypanosoma brucei subspecies.

Abstract
Dental plaque critically affects the etiology of caries, periodontitis and periimplantitis. The mechanical removal of plaque can only be performed partially due to limited accessibility. Therefore, plaque still represents one of the major therapeutic challenges. Even though antiseptic mouth rinses reduce the extent of biofilm temporarily, plaque removal remains incomplete and continuous usage can even result in side effects. Here we tested argon plasma produced by kinpen09 as one option to inactivate microorganisms and to eliminate plaque. S. sanguinis biofilms cultivated in either the European Biofilm Reactor (EUREBI) or in 24 well plates were treated with argon plasma. In both test systems a homogeneous, good analyzable and stable biofilm was produced on the surface of titan plates within 72 h (>6,9 log10 CFU/ml). Despite the significantly more powerful biofilm production in EUREBI, the difference of 0.4 log10 CFU/ml between EUREBI and the 24 well plates was practically not relevant. For that reason both test models were equally qualified for the analysis of efficacy of cold atmospheric pressure plasma. We demonstrate a significant reduction of the biofilm compared to the control in both test models. After plasma application of 180 s the biofilm produced in EUREBI or in 24 well plates was decreased by 0.6 log10 CFU/ml or 0.5 log10 CFU/ml, respectively. In comparison to recently published studies analyzing the efficacy of kinpen09, S. sanguinis produces a hardly removable biofilm. Future investigations using reduced distances between plasma source and biofilm, various compositions of plasma and alternative plasma sources will contribute to further optimization of the efficacy against S. sanguinis biofilms.
