Abstract
The ability of Klebsiella pneumoniae to form biofilm renders the pathogen recalcitrant to various antibiotics. The difficulty in managing K. pneumoniae related chronic infections is due to its biofilm-forming ability and associated virulence factors, necessitating the development of efficient strategies to control virulence factors. This study aimed at evaluating the inhibitory potential of selected phytochemical compounds on biofilm-associated virulence factors in K. pneumoniae, as well as authenticating their antibiofilm activity. Five phytochemical compounds (alpha-terpinene, camphene, fisetin, glycitein and phytol) were evaluated for their antibacterial and anti-biofilm-associated virulence factors such as exopolysaccharides, curli fibers, and hypermucoviscosity against carbapenem-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-positive K. pneumoniae strains. The antibiofilm potential of these compounds was evaluated at initial cell attachment, microcolony formation and mature biofilm formation, then validated by in situ visualization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Exopolysaccharide surface topography was characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The antibacterial activity of the compounds confirmed fisetin as the best anti-carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, demonstrating a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.0625 mg/mL. Phytol, glycitein and α-terpinene showed MIC values of 0.125 mg/mL for both strains. The assessment of the compounds for anti-virulence activity (exopolysaccharide reduction) revealed an up to 65.91% reduction in phytol and camphene. Atomic force microscopy detected marked differences between the topographies of untreated and treated (camphene and phytol) exopolysaccharides. Curli expression was inhibited at both 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL by phytol, glycitein, fisetin and quercetin. The hypermucoviscosity was reduced by phytol, glycitein, and fisetin to the shortest mucoid string (1 mm) at 1 mg/mL. Phytol showed the highest antiadhesion activity against carbapenem-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-positive K. pneumoniae (54.71% and 50.05%), respectively. Scanning electron microscopy correlated the in vitro findings, with phytol significantly altering the biofilm architecture. Phytol has antibiofilm and antivirulence potential against the highly virulent K. pneumoniae strains, revealing it as a potential lead compound for the management of K. pneumoniae-associated infections.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2022; 21:1657-1676. [PMID: 35181977 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Most foodborne pathogens have biofilm-forming capacity and prefer to grow in the form of biofilms. Presence of biofilms on food contact surfaces can lead to persistence of pathogens and the recurrent cross-contamination of food products, resulting in serious problems associated with food safety and economic losses. Resistance of biofilm cells to conventional sanitizers urges the development of natural alternatives to effectively inhibit biofilm formation and eradicate preformed biofilms. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce bacteriocins which are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, providing a great source of nature antimicrobials with the advantages of green and safe properties. Studies on biofilm control by newly identified bacteriocins are increasing, targeting primarily onListeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. This review systematically complies and assesses the antibiofilm property of LAB bacteriocins in controlling foodborne bacterial-biofilms on food contact surfaces. The bacteriocin-producing LAB genera/species, test method (inhibition and eradication), activity spectrum and surfaces are discussed, and the antibiofilm mechanisms are also argued. The findings indicate that bacteriocins can effectively inhibit biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner, but are difficult to disrupt preformed biofilms. Synergistic combination with other antimicrobials, incorporation in nanoconjugates and implementation of bioengineering can help to strengthen their antibiofilm activity. This review provides an overview of the potential and application of LAB bacteriocins in combating bacterial biofilms in food processing environments, assisting in the development and widespread use of bacteriocin as a promising antibiofilm-agent in food industries.

Abstract
This study aimed to address the significant problems of bacterial biofilms found in medical fields and many industries. It explores the potential of classic photoactive carbon dots (CDots), with 2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)bis (ethylamine) (EDA) for dot surface functionalization (thus, EDA-CDots) for their inhibitory effect on B. subtilis biofilm formation and the inactivation of B. subtilis cells within established biofilm. The EDA-CDots were synthesized by chemical functionalization of selected small carbon nanoparticles with EDA molecules in amidation reactions. The inhibitory efficacy of CDots with visible light against biofilm formation was dependent significantly on the time point when CDots were added; the earlier the CDots were added, the better the inhibitory effect on the biofilm formation. The evaluation of antibacterial action of light-activated EDA-CDots against planktonic B. subtilis cells versus the cells in biofilm indicate that CDots are highly effective for inactivating planktonic cells but barely inactivate cells in established biofilms. However, when coupling with chelating agents (e.g., EDTA) to target the biofilm architecture by breaking or weakening the EPS protection, much enhanced photoinactivation of biofilm-associated cells by CDots was achieved. The study demonstrates the potential of CDots to prevent the initiation of biofilm formation and to inhibit biofilm growth at an early stage. Strategic combination treatment could enhance the effectiveness of photoinactivation by CDots to biofilm-associated cells.

Abstract
Biofilm-related bacteria show high resistance to antimicrobial treatments, posing a remarkable challenge to human health. Given bacterial dormancy and high expression of efflux pumps, persistent infections caused by mature biofilms are not easy to treat, thereby driving researchers toward the discovery of many anti-biofilm molecules that can intervene in early stage biofilms formation to inhibit further development and maturity. Compared with mature biofilms, early stage biofilms have fragile structures, vigorous metabolisms, and early attached bacteria are higher susceptibility to antimicrobials. Thus, removing biofilms at the early stage has evident advantages. Many reviews on anti-biofilm compounds that prevent biofilms formation have already been done, but most of them are based on compound classifications to introduce anti-biofilm effects. This review discusses the inhibitory effects of anti-biofilm compounds on early stage biofilms formation from the perspective of the mechanisms of action, including hindering reversible adhesion, reducing extracellular polymeric substances production, interfering in the quorum sensing, and modifying cyclic di-GMP. This information can be exploited further to help researchers in designing new molecules with anti-biofilm activity.

Abstract
The menace of multidrug resistance among bacterial infections is an issue of global public health. Treatment of these superbugs with first line antibiotics is associated with significant treatment failure leading to increased mortality and morbidity. Carbapenems and polymyxins are the saviour antibiotics in case of such infections. But the problem is compounded when these antimicrobials also fail. The addition of beta-lactamase inhibitor like sulbactam and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid broaden the in vitro antibacterial action of ceftriaxone. This novel combination has been found to be effective in most of the drug resistant bacterial strains.

Abstract
Green-emitting water-soluble amino-ketoenole dye AmyGreen is proposed as an efficient fluorescent stain for visualization of bacterial amyloids in biofilms and the detection of pathological amyloids in vitro. This dye is almost non-fluorescent in solution, displays strong green emission in the presence of amyloid fibril of proteins. AmyGreen is also weakly fluorescent in presence to biomolecules that are components of cells, extracellular matrix or medium: nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins. Thus, the luminescence turn-on behavior of AmyGreen can be utilized for visualization of amyloid components of bacterial biofilm extracellular matrix. Herein we report the application of AmyGreen for fluorescent staining of a number of amyloid-contained bacteria biofilms produced by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bordetella avium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The effectiveness of AmyGreen was compared to traditional amyloid sensitive dye Thioflavine T. The main advantage of AmyGreen (concentration 10-5 M) is a higher sensitivity in the visualization of amyloid biofilm components over Thioflavine T (10-4 M) as it was revealed when staining E. coli and K. pneumoniae bacterial biofilms. Besides, AmyGreen displays lower cross-selectivity to nucleic acids as demonstrated both in in-solution experiments and upon staining of eukaryotic human mesenchymal stem cells used as amyloid-free negative control over amyloid-rich bacterial biofilms. The results point to a lower risk of false-positive response upon determination of amyloid components of bacterial biofilm using AmyGreen. Co-staining of biofilm by AmyGreen and cellulose sensitive dye Calcofluor White show difference in their staining patterns and localization, indicating separation of polysaccharide-rich and amyloid-rich regions of investigated biofilms. Thus, we suggest the new AmyGreen stain for visualization and differentiation of amyloid fibrils in bacterial biofilms to be used solely and in combination with other stains for confocal and fluorescence microscopy analysis.

ASK2 Bioactive Compound Inhibits MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae by Antibiofilm Activity, Modulating Macrophage Cytokines and Opsonophagocytosis. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2017; 7:346.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of pathogens harboring extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) like carbapenem resistant Gram negative bacteria are the major emerging threat to public health. Of particular concern Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenamase- producing strains have been recorded worldwide. Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) caused by K. pneumoniae are significantly associated with morbidity and mortality. Hence the present work was aimed to develop a strategy for addressing these issues through an innovative approach of antibiofilm and immunomodulation. These two independent activities were analyzed in a Streptomyces derived ASK2 bioactive compound. While analysing the effect of sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs), 0.5x of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was found to be more effective in preventing biofilm formation on coverslip and silicone catheter. The minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) was found to be 15-fold higher MIC with eradication of 75% of 3 day old biofilm. Apart from its antibiofilm potential, ASK2 also acts as an opsonin and enhances phagocytic response of macrophages against multidrug resistant K. pneumoniae. In addition, ASK2 resulted in elevated levels of nitric oxide generation by the macrophages and has a stimulating effect on IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α proinflammatory cytokines. The opsonic role of ASK2 and its potential in modulating proinflammatory cytokines secreted by macrophages implies the importance of ASK2 in modulating cellular immune response of macrophages against MDR K. pneumoniae. The present study proposes ASK2 as a promising candidate for treating MDR K. pneumoniae infections with its dual properties of antibiofilm and immunomodulatory activities.

Abstract
Increased antibacterial resistance (ABR) and limited drug discovery warrant optimized use of available antibiotics. One option is to rationally combine two antibiotics (fixed dose combination (FDC)) that may delay or prevent emergence of ABR in notorious pathogen. Major concern with FDC is the mutual interaction of its components that might influence their pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, requiring reassessing of whole formulation (adding cost and time). The interaction can be identified by comparing PK profile of a drug present in FDC with its independent entity. An open-label, crossover, single-dose comparative PK study of FDC (ceftriaxone and sulbactam) with their individual reference formulations was performed in 24 healthy adult subjects. No mutual PK interactions between ceftriaxone and sulbactam were observed. Pharmacokinetic data was used to develop a population-PK model to understand between-subject variability (BSV). Pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone/sulbactam was explained by one and two compartment models, respectively. The subject's "weight" was identified as a covariate explaining BSV. Both internal and external validations (healthy/infected subjects) were done. The model-derived population-PK parameters of FDC's active components in infected subjects were similar to literature reported values of individual components. Efficacies of various FDC dosage regimens over a range of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were assessed by Monte Carlo simulations using population-PK parameters of infected/healthy subjects. In infected subjects, 3 g FDC/24 h can treat bacteria with MIC ≤8 μg/mL, while for MIC 8-32 μg/mL, 3 g FDC/12 h is recommended. Lastly, the developed population-PK model was successfully used to predict drug exposure in pediatric population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Preamble: In the visage of multidrug resistance among gram negative bacilli, we look forward to carbapenem group of drugs as empiric choice in seriously ill patients. However increasing resistance to carbapenems, the last resort, is of growing concern for all. It's high time to look beyond Carbapenems and emphasize on Carbapenem sparers. OBJECTIVE This study is to find the susceptibility pattern of the novel adjuvant antimicrobial CSE 1034 a combination of Ceftriaxone+sulbactam+disodium edetate for the current ESBL and MBL isolates in a tertiary care centre. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 823 gram negative bacterial isolates were obtained from different clinical specimens during the period of March, 2013 to October, 2013. The overall prevalence of metallobetalactamase producing gram negative organisms was 11 percent (n=91). We included a total of 141 clinical isolates for this study. RESULTS Among 141 clinical isolates, 50 isolates (35%) were ESBL producers and 91 (65%) were MBL producers. Maximum numbers of ESBL producers were identified in Escherichia coli followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Proteus spp. Maximum numbers of MBL producers were identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CSE 1034 (Ceftriaxone+sulbactam+disodium edetate) showed fairly good in-vitro susceptibility for these ESBL and MBL producing isolates. It exhibited 64 % to 100% susceptibility and 18% to 22% intermediate sensitivity to ESBL producing isolates and 42 % to 89 % susceptible and 10 % to 51 % intermediate response to MBL producing isolates. CONCLUSION With increasing resistance to the commonly prescribed drugs used to treat infections caused by variety of gram negative organisms, Ceftriaxone+sulbactam+disodium edetate, a novel Antibiotic Adjuvant Entity (AAE) may be a promising option.
