Relationship between biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and updates on antibiofilm therapeutic strategies. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1324895. [PMID: 38465230 PMCID: PMC10920351 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1324895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium within the Enterobacteriaceae family that can cause multiple systemic infections, such as respiratory, blood, liver abscesses and urinary systems. Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat and K. pneumoniae warrants special attention due to its resistance to most modern day antibiotics. Biofilm formation is a critical obstruction that enhances the antibiotic resistance of K. pneumoniae. However, knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation and its relation with antibiotic resistance in K. pneumoniae is limited. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation and its correlation with antibiotic resistance is crucial for providing insight for the design of new drugs to control and treat biofilm-related infections. In this review, we summarize recent advances in genes contributing to the biofilm formation of K. pneumoniae, new progress on the relationship between biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance, and new therapeutic strategies targeting biofilms. Finally, we discuss future research directions that target biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance of this priority pathogen.

Biofilm in sino-nasal infectious diseases: the role nasal cytology in the diagnostic work up and therapeutic implications. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2023; 280:1523-1528. [PMID: 36376525 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07748-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUD Biofilm formation has been recently recognised as one of the most important etiopathological mechanisms underlying chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and its recalcitrance. In this context, nasal cytology (NC) has become an integral part of diagnostic work up of patients suffering from sino-nasal diseases, since it is an easy-to-apply, reproducible and non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows to assess both the nasal inflammatory infiltrate and the presence of biofilms on nasal mucosal surface, further orienting the therapeutic choices in case of infectious diseases for eradicating infections and biofilms. Nevertheless, biofilms are typically resistant to common antibiotic treatments and may trigger or maintain chronic inflammation. Hence, the importance of correctly detecting the presence of biofilm and identifying new effective treatments. PURPOSE The aim of this brief review is to better clarify the role of biofilm in the pathogenesis and recurrence of sino-nasal disorders and to highlight the role of nasal cytology (NC) in the rhino-allergologic diagnostic path and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of new treatments.

Yao Y, Zhu HY, Zeng M, Liu Z. Immunological mechanisms and treatable traits of chronic rhinosinusitis in Asia: A narrative review. Clin Otolaryngol 2023; 48:363-370. [PMID: 36317525 DOI: 10.1111/coa.14001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the current literature on immunological mechanisms and treatable traits of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in Asia. DESIGN This is a narrative review of published data on the immunological mechanisms and treatable traits of CRS in Asia. Published English literature on CRS in Asian and Western countries was reviewed. Where available, the data extracted included epidemiology, immunology, bacterium, phenotype, endotype and treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION CRS is a heterogeneous disease characterised by persistent locoregional mucosal inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. The inflammatory signatures of CRS vary across patients with distinct racial and ethnic backgrounds and geographic areas. Compared to CRS patients in Western countries, Asian CRS patients display less eosinophilic and Type 2 inflammation, which is associated with lower asthma and allergic rhinitis comorbidities. In contrast, Asian patients with CRS have more prominent non-eosinophilic inflammation than those in Western countries. In addition, Asian CRS patients may have different bacterial colonisation than patients in Western countries. Our review suggests that the distinct immunological mechanisms between Asian and Western CRS patients may influence the clinical phenotype, responses to treatment and outcomes. The treatable trait is a new strategy and therapeutic target identified by phenotype or endotype and has been proposed as a new paradigm for the management of diseases. Improved understanding of CRS phenotypic and endotypic heterogeneity and incorporation of treatable traits into clinical care pathways may facilitate more effective selections of therapeutic interventions, including surgery and biologics.
