Effects of Cream Containing Rhamnolipid Microbial Surfactants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa MR01 on Growth Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus
Authors
Abstract:
Background and purpose: Dramatic increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria highlights the need for new compounds with more effective antibacterial properties and biotechnology could be useful in producing these metabolites. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of rhamnolipid microbial surfactants in a cream-based formulation on growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus using in vitro and animal models. Materials and methods: The inhibitory effects of rhamnolipids produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa MR01 on the growth of S. aureus were investigated by disk diffusion method. Then, the effects of dirhamnolipid compounds on the survival and morphology of bacteria were studied using estimation of colony forming units (CFUs) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The di-rhamnolipid-containing cream was prepared and its effects on inhibition of the bacterial growth was evaluated in in vitro and animal subjects. Results: Disk diffusion tests showed a minimum inhibitory value of 30mg/disk for aqueous solutions of mono- and di-rhamnolipids, and 20mg/disk and 10mg/disk for mono- and di-rhamnolipid solutions in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), respectively. The aqueous solution of di-rhamnolipids at 20mg/ml resulted in lack of viable cells of S. aureus. SEM images showed changes in spherical shape of S. aureus during rhamnolipid treatments. Di-rhamnolipid-containing cream led to inhibition of bacterial growth in vitro on agar medium. Moreover, findings in rats indicated inhibition of bacterial growth in wound areas after 20 days of treatment with the cream. Conclusion: In current study, Di-rhamnolipids demonstrated inhibitory effects on the growth of S. aureus. These compounds in cream formulation could also have antibacterial effects.

Possible Non-Thermal Microwave Effects on the Growth Rate of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus
The present work reports the effects of low power microwaves in the frequency range of 2.20-2.50 GHz with an incident power range of 0-400 mW on the growth rate of the bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Since culture temperatures were maintained constant (37°C) during irradiation, these effects can be considered as non-thermal. A continuous recirculating experim...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen that can cause serious infections and usually coexists with other pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus. Virulence factors are important for maintaining a presence of the organisms in these multispecies environments, and DesB plays an important role in P. aeruginosa virulence. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DesB on S. aureus reduction under comp...

The application of iron-silica (Fe-Si) nanoparticles for the enhancement of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and rhamnolipid production in molasses medium was studied. The experiments were designed based on the response surface method (RSM) to optimize growth and rhamnolipid production. The concentration of nanoparticles and the time required to add nanoparticles to culture medium were conside...

Few long-term multicenter investigations have evaluated the relationships between aggregate antimicrobial drug use in hospitals and bacterial resistance. We measured fluoroquinolone use from 1999 through 2003 in a network of US hospitals. The percentages of fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were obtained from yearly antibiogr...

OBJECTIVES Biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) have been shown to be an important factor in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). As well, honey has been used as an effective topical antimicrobial agent for years. Our objective is to determine the in vitro effect of honey against biofilms produced by PA and SA. STUDY DESIGN In vitro tes...
