Effects of sucrose and silver on Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.
The present study examined the effects of antimicrobial agents on a biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus. A membranous structure (an immature biofilm) was formed on the coverslips of tissue culture dishes by S. aureus cells in plasma after incubation for 24 h. After incubation, the colony counts of S. aureus cells in the immature biofilms in plasma containing levofloxacin with 70% sucrose wer...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Amoxicillin on Staphylococcus aureus USA300 Biofilms.
Previous studies showed that sub-MIC levels of β-lactam antibiotics stimulate biofilm formation in most methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Here, we investigated this process by measuring the effects of sub-MIC amoxicillin on biofilm formation by the epidemic community-associated MRSA strain USA300. We found that sub-MIC amoxicillin increased the ability of USA300 cells ...
متن کاملAntibacterial Effects of Chitosan Nanoparticles Loaded with Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains
Introduction: Antibiotic-carrying nanoparticles have cytotoxic effects on drug-resistant bacteria. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles carrying amoxicillin and clavulanic acid on the viability of staphylococcus aureus strains. Materials & Methods: In this study, chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method and were loaded by amo...
متن کاملEffects of Sub-Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Silver Nanoparticles on Some Virulence Factors of Staphylococcus aureus
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have physical and surface properties that could threaten human and environmental health. AgNPs are classified as ‘very toxic’ to eukaryotic organisms and are less toxic to bacteria. The aim of the present study was to study the effects of different sub-minimum inhi...
متن کاملagr-Mediated Dispersal of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms
The agr quorum-sensing system of Staphylococcus aureus modulates the expression of virulence factors in response to autoinducing peptides (AIPs). Recent studies have suggested a role for the agr system in S. aureus biofilm development, as agr mutants exhibit a high propensity to form biofilms, and cells dispersing from a biofilm have been observed displaying an active agr system. Here, we repor...
