Abstract
Melochia corchorifolia is a well-known perennial herb and has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of a wide number of diseases. However, the phytochemical investigation in the different organs of the M. corchorifolia was poorly understood. In the present study, the organ-specific metabolomic profiling of leaves, stems, and vegetable extract of M. corchorifolia was determined, and their potential antibiofilm activity with wound healing properties was evaluated. The UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MSE analysis showed 59 compounds in the leaf, stem, and vegetable extracts of M. corchorifolia. The crystal violet staining assay clearly showed that the extracts of M. corchorifolia have excellent antibiofilm activity against Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella typhi. The extracts of M. corchorifolia also caused the architecture of the bacterial biofilm by inhibiting the adherence to polystyrene and auto-aggregation and subsequently inhibiting the growth and colonization of the biofilm-forming bacteria P. mirabilis and S. typhi. The extracts of M. corchorifolia accelerate the wound healing process in BALB/c mice by completely closing the wound on the 20th day of treatment. Together, the phytochemicals present in the leaf, stem, and vegetable extracts of M. corchorifolia are responsible for potent antibiofilm and wound healing properties and could be used as an excellent remedy for treating chronic wounds and their associated infectious disease.

Elumalai R, Vishwakarma A, Balakrishnan A, Ramya M. Assessment of the growth inhibition and anti-biofilm activity of aptamer (PmA2G02) against Proteus mirabilis 1429 T. Res Microbiol 2024; 175:104105. [PMID: 37429429 DOI: 10.1016/j.resmic.2023.104105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Proteus mirabilis is known to cause Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), which exhibit virulence factors linked to forming biofilms. Aptamers have recently been explored as potential anti-biofilm agents. This study demonstrates the anti-biofilm activity of aptamer (PmA2G02) targeting P. mirabilis 1429T, a pathogenic bacteria known to cause Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The studied aptamer inhibited biofilm formation, swarming motility, and cell viability at a concentration of 3 μM. The study also showed that the PmA2G02 had a binding affinity towards fimbrial outer membrane usher protein (PMI1466), flagellin protein (PMI1619), and regulator of swarming behavior (rsbA), which are responsible for adhesion, motility, and quorum sensing, respectively. Crystal violet assay, SEM, and confocal imaging confirmed the effectiveness of the PmA2G02 as an anti-biofilm agent. Moreover, as verified by qPCR, the expression levels of fimD, fliC2, and rsbA were significantly reduced compared to the untreated group. This study suggests that aptamer may be a potential alternative to traditional antibiotics for the treatment of CAUTIs caused by P. mirabilis. These findings shed light on the mechanisms by which the aptamer inhibits biofilm formation.

Abstract
Propolis is a kind of reduct collected by bees from various plant sources. Because propolis is a mixture, it has a variety of biological activities, excellent anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Especially in the treatment of infectious wounds, acute wounds, burns, and scalds and promoting wound healing, more and more scientists began to apply it to the research field of wound healing. The standard preparation of propolis combined with other compound components has a safer and less toxic effect in the treatment of trauma. In order to more effectively use propolis products in wound treatment. This paper reviews the effect and treatment mechanism of propolis on different types of wound healing, as well as the synergistic effect of propolis and other compounds, in order to provide ideas for the further exploration of the biological activity and pharmacological function of propolis in the future, as well as its in-depth development in the field of wound healing. It will also provide a theoretical reference for the further development and utilization of propolis.

Abstract
Propolis is a natural bee product that is widely used in folk medicine. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on methicillin-resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA). Propolis samples were collected from six regions in Hungary. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values and the interaction of EEP-antibiotics were evaluated by the broth microdilution and the chequerboard broth microdilution methods, respectively. The effect of EEP on biofilm formation and eradication was estimated by crystal violet assay. Resazurin/propidium iodide dyes were applied for simultaneous quantification of cellular metabolic activities and dead cells in mature biofilms. The EEP1 sample showed the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents. The EEP1 successfully prevented the growth of planktonic cells of S. aureus (MIC value = 50 µg/mL). Synergistic interactions were shown after the co-exposition to EEP1 and vancomycin at 108 CFU/mL. The EEP1 effectively inhibited the biofilm formation and caused significant degradation of mature biofilms (50-200 µg/mL), as a consequence of the considerable decrement of metabolic activity. The EEP acts effectively as an antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent on S. aureus. Moreover, the simultaneous application of EEP and vancomycin could enhance their effect against MRSA infection.

Activity of Ethanolic and Supercritical Propolis Extracts in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Its Associated Biofilm. Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:700030.

Abstract
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis in small ruminants, a chronic disease characterized by the development of granulomas in superficial and visceral lymph nodes as well as in several organs. An important characteristic of the infection with this bacterium is the formation of a biofilm and the absence of effective antibiotic therapy against the disease. From this scenario, the objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of C. pseudotuberculosis to conventional antibiotics and to red, green, and brown propolis extracts obtained by the supercritical and ethanolic extraction methods as well as its activity in the bacterial biofilm. The results of the sensitivity test using antibiotics indicated a sensitivity of C. pseudotuberculosis strains to the antimicrobial agents. The ethanolic extract of green propolis and the supercritical red propolis extract showed the best antibacterial activities against planktonic C. pseudotuberculosis. A lower antimicrobial activity of the brown propolis extract was identified. Propolis extracts were effective in interfering with the formation of the C. pseudotuberculosis biofilm but had little activity on the consolidated biofilm. In conclusion, propolis extracts are more effective against C. pseudotuberculosis in the planktonic stage, being able to interfere with the formation of bacterial biofilm. However, the action of propolis extracts in a sessile and structured microbial biofilm is reduced.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Propolis is a bee-derived product used since antiquity for its general health-giving properties and is especially noted for its anti-bacterial activity. In more recent times, propolis has been employed against more specific targets such as antiproliferative effects vs cancer cells, wound healing and type-2 diabetes. AIM OF THE STUDY European (poplar)-type propolis from New Zealand contains a number of hydroxy cinnamic acid esters and a set of aglycone flavonoid compounds, mainly chrysin, galangin, pinocembrin and pinobanksin. Propolis is usually taken orally and propolis metabolites quickly appear in the plasma of the ingested. In this work we aimed to identify the major flavonoid plasma metabolites by direct analysis of the plasma. MATERIALS AND METHODS After consumption of a large dose of propolis in a single sitting, blood samples were taken and analysed using LCMS/MS. The major flavonoid metabolites identified were also synthesised using chemical (sulfates) or enzymatic methods (glucuronides). RESULTS Both the sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of the four major propolis flavonoids are readily detected in human plasma after propolis ingestion. Preparation of the sulfates and glucuronides of the four major flavonoids allowed the relative proportions of the various metabolites to be determined. Although the sulfates are seen as large peaks in the LCMS/MS, the glucuronides are the dominant conjugate species. CONCLUSIONS This study shows most of the flavonoids in the plasma are present as 7-O-glucuronides with only galangin showing some di-glucuronidation (3,7-O-diglucuronide). No evidence was found for hydroxy cinnamic acid type metabolites in the plasma samples.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds and phenolic compounds are viable alternatives to antibiotics in recurrent urinary tract infections. This study aimed to use a natural functional product, based on the bioactive compounds’ composition, to inhibit the uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. E.coli ATCC 25922 was used to characterize the IVCM (new in vitro catheterization model). As support for reducing bacterial proliferation, the cytotoxicity against a strain of Candida albicans was also determined (over 75% at 1 mg/mL). The results were correlated with the analysis of the distribution of biologically active compounds (trans-ferulic acid-268.44 ± 0.001 mg/100 g extract and an equal quantity of Trans-p-coumaric acid and rosmarinic acid). A pronounced inhibitory effect against the uropathogenic strain E. coli 317 (4 log copy no./mL after 72 h) was determined. The results showed a targeted response to the product for tested bacterial strains. The importance of research resulted from the easy and fast characterization of the functional product with antimicrobial effect against uropathogenic strains of E. coli. This study demonstrated that the proposed in vitro model was a valuable tool for assessing urinary tract infections with E. coli.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The history of medical application of propolis (also known as bee glue) dates back to the times of ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians and Egyptians. Honey and other bee products, including propolis, occupy an important place in Polish folk medicine. Scientific research on propolis in Poland began in the early 1960s in Zabrze and continues until now. AIM OF THE REVIEW The aim of this review is to provide an overview of information on Polish research on propolis and its medical application with particular emphasis on studies concerning wound healing. Consequently, our goal is also to shed a new light on therapeutic potential of Polish propolis in order to support future research in the field. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of scientific literature on propolis and its medical application was performed by using the literature databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar). We paid special attention to papers describing the effect of propolis on skin wound healing as well as to Polish contribution to research on propolis. RESULTS Professor Stan Scheller was the first Polish scientist dealing with propolis and its medical potential. His legacy was continued by several research teams that studied the topic in various aspects. They analyzed propolis composition, its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiapoptotic and anticancer properties as well as its application in dentistry and wound treatment. Burn wound healing physiology after propolis administration was thoroughly studied on pig model, whereas research on patients proved the efficacy of propolis in chronic venous leg ulcer treatment. CONCLUSION Polish scientists have made a significant contribution to the research on propolis, its biological properties and influence on wound healing. Propolis ointments can effectively accelerate the healing process and improve healing physiology, so they can be recommended as a promising topical medication for wound treatment in the future clinical and preclinical trials.

Abstract
The selection of dressing is crucial for the wound healing process. Traditional dressings protect against contamination and mechanical damage of an injured tissue. Alternatives for standard dressings are regenerating systems containing a polymer with an incorporated active compound. The aim of this research was to obtain a biodegradable wound dressing releasing propolis in a controlled manner throughout the healing process. Dressings were obtained by electrospinning a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer (PLGA) and propolis solution. The experiment consisted of in vitro drug release studies and in vivo macroscopic treatment evaluation. In in vitro studies released active compounds, the morphology of nonwovens, chemical composition changes of polymeric material during degradation process, weight loss and water absorption were determined. For in vivo research, four domestic pigs, were used. The 21-day experiment consisted of observation of healing third-degree burn wounds supplied with PLGA 85/15 nonwovens without active compound, with 5 wt % and 10 wt % of propolis, and wounds rinsed with NaCl. The in vitro experiment showed that controlling the molar ratio of lactidyl to glycolidyl units in the PLGA copolymer gives the opportunity to change the release profile of propolis from the nonwoven. The in vivo research showed that PLGA nonwovens with propolis may be a promising dressing material in the treatment of severe burn wounds.

Abstract
Proteus mirabilis is a Gram negative bacterium that is a frequent cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Its ability to cause such infections is mostly related to the formation of biofilms on catheter surfaces. In order to form biofilms, P. mirabilis expresses a number of virulence factors. Such factors may include adhesion proteins, quorum sensing molecules, lipopolysaccharides, efflux pumps, and urease enzyme. A unique feature of P. mirabilis biofilms that build up on catheter surfaces is their crystalline nature owing to their ureolytic biomineralization. This leads to catheter encrustation and blockage and, in most cases, is accompanied by urine retention and ascending UTIs. Bacteria embedded in crystalline biofilms become highly resistant to conventional antimicrobials as well as the immune system. Being refractory to antimicrobial treatment, alternative approaches for eradicating P. mirabilis biofilms have been sought by many studies. The current review focuses on the mechanism by which P. mirabilis biofilms are formed, and a state of the art update on preventing biofilm formation and reduction of mature biofilms. These treatment approaches include natural, and synthetic compounds targeting virulence factors and quorum sensing, beside other strategies that include carrier-mediated diffusion of antimicrobials into biofilm matrix. Bacteriophage therapy has also shown successful results in vitro for combating P. mirabilis biofilms either merely through their lytic effect or by acting as facilitators for antimicrobials diffusion.
