Quantitative Insights and Visualization of Antimicrobial Tolerance in Mixed-Species Biofilms

چکیده
Biofilms are a major problem in hard-to-heal wounds. Moreover, they composed of different species and often tolerant to antimicrobial agents. At the same time, interspecific synergy and/or competition occurs when some bacterial clash. For this reason, tolerance two dual-species wound biofilm models Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus or Enterococcus faecium against antimicrobials dressings were analyzed quantitatively by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results compared findings with planktonic bacteria. Octenidine-dihydrochloride/phenoxyethanol polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) irrigation solutions showed significant, albeit delayed reduction bacteria, while PHMB dressing was not able induce effect. However, cadexomer-iodine caused sustained killed almost all bacteria down 102 cfu/mL within 6 days control (1010 cfu/mL). By means CLSM untreated human models, it became evident that P. dominates over E. S. aureus. Additionally, appeared as vast layer at bottom samples, formed grape-like clusters. In second model, distribution even clearer. Only few visible, contrast aeruginosa. It seems avoid each other seek their respective niches. These mixed-species efficacy substances nearly species-independent. Their frequent application appears be important. remains challenge treatment requires new, combined therapy options.

Modeling antimicrobial tolerance and treatment of heterogeneous biofilms.
A multiphasic, hydrodynamic model for spatially heterogeneous biofilms based on the phase field formulation is developed and applied to analyze antimicrobial tolerance of biofilms by acknowledging the existence of persistent and susceptible cells in the total population of bacteria. The model implements a new conversion rate between persistent and susceptible cells and its homogeneous dynamics ...

Antimicrobial resistance in biofilms
The ability of microorganisms to form biofilms is closely related to infectious diseases, and environmental and biotechnological processes. Biofilms constituting a microbial multicellular lifestyle and are defined as organized communities of bacteria, collaborating among themselves and being attached to an inert or living surface contained in a self-produced polymeric matrix made principally of...
