AB  - Microbial biofilms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). The aim of our study was to evaluate in vitro effects of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and levofloxacin on biofilm formation by bacterial species isolated from sinus tissue in patients with CRSwNP. The sinus mucosal specimens were harvested from the upper parts and roof of ethmoid cavity of 48 patients with CRSwNP. Each sample was washed thoroughly in three separate beakers of sterile saline to remove any planktonic bacteria and further subjected to microbiology analysis. The biofilm-forming capacity of isolated strains was detected by microtiter-plate method and the effects of subinhibitory (1/2x to 1/16x MIC) and suprainhibitory concentrations (4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 A mu g/ml) of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and levofloxacin on biofilm production were investigated. Bacterial strains were isolated in 42 (87.5%) patients: one microorganism in 80.9% and two microorganisms in 19.1% of patients. The most prevalent bacteria in CRSwNP biofilms were Staphylococcus epidermidis (34%) and S. aureus (28%) followed by S. haemolyticus (12%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8%), Moraxella catarrhalis (6%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (6%), and other staphylococci (6%). Subinhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and levofloxacin significantly reduced biofilm formation (p  lt  0.01 and p  lt  0.05, respectively), with better efficacy of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (1/2-1/8x MIC) on staphylococci and levofloxacin (1/2- 1/4x MIC) on M. catarrhalis and P. aeruginosa biofilm formation. Suprainhibitory concentrations of both tested antibiotics (4-64 A mu g/ml) significantly eradicated mature biofilms of staphylococci (p  lt  0.01). The effect of levofloxacin on eradication of staphylococcal biofilms was more noticeable, compared to the effect of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (p  lt  0.01). Suprainhibitory concentrations of both tested antibiotics had no effect on eradication of previously formed M. catarrhalis and P. aeruginosa biofilms (p > 0.05). The amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and levofloxacin are shown to be potent antibiofilm agents in patients with CRSwNP. The effects of tested compounds depend on bacterial species and the volume of formed biofilm.

AB  - Biofilm-associated wound infections are a major global health issue, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is among the greatest therapeutic challenges. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy is now being revisited as an alternative treatment for both acute and chronic wounds. However, data supporting the concept of its antibiofilm effect remain limited. Using quantitative biofilm-forming assay and a range of genotypic methods (spa, SCCmec, and agr typing), study authors showed that VAC therapy can significantly prevent biofilm formation (P  lt  .01) of a range of MRSA wound isolates differing widely in their biofilm-forming abilities and genetic background. The best effect was presented on CC5-MRSA-SCCmecI-agrII, a dominant MRSA clone among wound isolates worldwide. An assessment of effects of different protocols on dressing changes (1 or 2 times per week) demonstrated significantly greater antibiofilm activity (P  lt  .05) of 3-day dressing changes. These findings support the use of VAC therapy as a topical antibiofilm treatment for the effective management of wound healing.

AB  - Microbial biofilms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Intranasal application of corticosteroids and saline is a reliable option for their management. The aim of our study was to evaluate in vitro antibiofilm effects of corticosteroids and isotonic and hypertonic nasal saline in CRSwNP patients. The sinus mucosal specimens were harvested from the ethmoid cavity of 48 patients with CRSwNP and further subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining and microbiology analysis. The biofilm-forming capacity of isolated bacterial strains was detected by microtiter-plate method and the effects of therapeutic doses of mometasone, fluticasone, isotonic and hypertonic saline on biofilm production were investigated. Bacterial strains were isolated in 42 (87.5%) patients: one organism in 34 (80.9%) and two organisms in 8 (19.1%). Staphylococcus epidermidis (34%) and Staphylococcus aureus (28%) were the most prevalent bacteria in biofilms of CRSwNP patients. Corticosteroids and saline solutions significantly reduced biofilm formation (p  lt  0.01 and p  lt  0.05, respectively) with better efficacy of fluticasone and isotonic nasal saline. Treatment with fluticasone, mometasone, isotonic and hypertonic nasal saline completely prevented biofilm production in 66, 50, 84 and 38% of bacterial strains, respectively. The most significant density reduction was observed in biofilm formed by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pneumoniae compared to other bacterial species (p  lt  0.01, p  lt  0.05, p  lt  0.05, respectively). The antibiofilm effects of corticosteroids and saline solutions also greatly depended on bacterial biomass (p  lt  0.05), with the most significant effect on high compared to small amount of formed biofilm. The topical steroids and nasal saline are shown to be potent antibiofilm agents in patients with CRSwNP. The effects of tested compounds depend on bacterial species and volume of formed biofilm.

AB  - Achromobacter spp. may contaminate lenses, lens cases, and contact lens solutions and cause ocular infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of isolated strain of Achromobacter xylosoxidans to form biofilm on the surface of soft contact lenses (CL), to quantify the production of the formed biofilm, and compare it with the reference strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae). Bacterial strain isolated from one contact lens case was identified as A. xylosoxidans using Vitek2 Automated System. Biofilm forming capacity of isolated strain of A. xylosoxidans and reference strains of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and H. influenzae on soft CL were analyzed by commonly used microtitre plate method. Our results showed that isolated strain of A. xylosoxidans was capable to form biofilm on the surface of soft contact lens. A. xylosoxidans was strong biofilm producer while all examined reference strains were moderate biofilm producers. A. xylosoxidans appears to be superior biofilm producer on soft CL compared to reference strains.

AB  - Bacterial biofilm formation has been implicated in the high incidence of persistent otorrhoea after tympanostomy tube insertion. The aim of the study was to investigate whether biofilm formation on tympanostomy tubes depends on the genetic profile of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Capacity of biofilm formation on fluoroplastic tympanostomy tubes (TTs) was tested on 30 MRSA strains. Identification and methicillin resistance were confirmed by PCR for nuc and mecA genes. Strains were genotypically characterised (SCCmec, agr and spa typing). Biofilm formation was tested in microtiter plate and on TTs. Tested MRSA strains were classified into SCCmec type I (36.7 %), III (23.3 %), IV (26.7 %) and V (13.3 %), agr type I (50 %), II (36.7 %) and III (13.3 %), and 5 clonal complexes (CCs). All tested MRSA strains showed ability to form biofilm on microtiter plate. Capacity of biofilm formation on TTs was as following: 13.3 % of strains belonged to the category of no biofilm producers, 50 % to the category of weak biofilm producers and 36.7 % to moderate biofilm producers. There was a statistically significant difference between CC, SCCmec and agr types and the category of biofilm production on TTs tubes (p  lt  0.001): CC5, SCCmecI type and agrII type with a moderate amount of biofilm, and CC8 and agrI type with a low amount of biofilm. Biofilm formation by MRSA on TTs is highly dependent on genetic characteristics of the strains. Therefore, MRSA genotyping may aid the determination of the possibility of biofilm-related post-tympanostomy tube otorrhea.

AB  - Background Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) and Listeria monocytogenes have important roles in pathogenesis of various genital tract infections and fatal foetomaternal infections, respectively. The aim of our study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of two novel bacteriocins on biofilms of CoNS and L. monocytogenes genital isolates. Methods The effects of licheniocin 50.2 from Bacillus licheniformis VPS50.2 and crude extract of bacteriocins produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis BGBU1-4 (BGBU1-4 crude extract) were evaluated on biofilm formation and formed biofilms of eight CoNS (four S. epidermidis, two S. hominis, one S. lugdunensis and one S. haemolyticus) and 12 L. monocytogenes genital isolates. Results Licheniocin 50.2 and BGBU1-4 crude extract inhibited the growth of both CoNS and L. monocytogenes isolates, with MIC values in the range between 200-400 AU/ml for licheniocin 50.2 and 400-3200 AU/ml for BGBU1-4 crude extract. Subinhibitory concentrations (1/2 x and 1/4 x MIC) of licheniocin 50.2 inhibited biofilm formation by all CoNS isolates (p  lt  0.05, respectively), while BGBU1-4 crude extract inhibited biofilm formation by all L. monocytogenes isolates (p  lt  0.01 and p  lt  0.05, respectively). Both bacteriocins in concentrations of 100 AU/mL and 200 AU/mL reduced the amount of 24 h old CoNS and L. monocytogenes biofilms (p  lt  0.05, p  lt  0.01, p  lt  0.001). Conclusions This study suggests that novel bacteriocins have potential to be used for genital application, to prevent biofilm formation and/or to eradicate formed biofilms, and consequently reduce genital and neonatal infections by CoNS and L. monocytogenes.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate biofilm formation on silicone tubes by genetically diverse methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Capacity of biofilm formation on dacryocystorhinostomy silicone tubes was tested on 30 MRSA strains. Identification and methicillin resistance were confirmed by PCR for nuc and mecA genes. Strains were genotypically characterised (SCCmec, agr and spa typing). Biofilm formation was tested in microtiter plate and on silicone tubes. Tested MRSA strains were classified into SCCmec type I (33.3 %), II (3.3 %), III (20.0 %), IV (26.7 %) and V (16.7 %), agr type I (56.7 %), II (36.7 %) and III (6.6 %), and eight spa clonal complexes (CCs). All tested MRSA strains showed ability to form biofilm on microtiter plate. Capacity of biofilm formation on silicone tubes was as follows: 33.3 % of strains belonged to the category of low biofilm producers, and 66.7 % to moderate biofilm producers. There was statistically significant correlation between spa CC and the category of biofilm production on silicone tubes (p = 0.01): CC5 and CC45 with moderate amount of biofilm, and CC8 with low amount of biofilm. A moderate amount of biofilm formed on silicone tubes correlated with agr type II MRSA strains (p = 0.008). Biofilm formation by MRSA on silicone tubes is highly dependent on genetic characteristics of the strains. Therefore, MRSA genotyping may aid the determination of the possibility of biofilm-related ocular device infections. Genotyping and biofilm quantification may be helpful in determining when decolonisation and cohort isolation are required to prevent device-related infections.

AB  - Pathogenicity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with a broad spectrum of virulence factors, amongst which is a-hemolysin. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three newly-synthesized chalcones (1,3- Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)propenone, 3(3-Hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone and 3-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone) on a-hemolysin production of clinical isolates of MRSA. Subinhibitory concentrations of the tested compounds reduced hemolytic activity of MRSA strains, with almost complete abolishment of hemolysis at concentrations in the range of 1/2-1/4 x MIC (25-12.5 mu g/ml). In conclusion, newly-synthesized chalcones tested in this study showed potent inhibitory activity on a-hemolysin production of multiresistant and genetically diverse MRSA strains.

Multiresistance of methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) is one of the mostserious therapeutical problems nowadays, and requires urgent development of newantibacterial compounds. Chalcones belong to a group of naturally occurring flavonoidswith chemical structure made of two aryl rings linked by a α,β-unsaturated ketone.Although these compounds are usually isolated from various plant species, they can alsobe obtained by the methods of classical and combinatorial synthesis. Chalcones arecompounds with potent biological activities, amongst which are antibacterial, antiviral,antifungal, antiproliferative and antiinflammatory.The aim of the study: The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect ofthree newly-synthesized chalcones: 1,3- Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as O-OH), 3-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as M-OH) and 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as P-OH) against genetically diverse clinical isolates of MRSA, and the effecton physiological and biochemical characteristics and expression of virulence factors(production of glycocalyx, biofilm and adherence to human fibronectin) and productionof α-hemolysin of these bacteria. One of the aims of this study was also to investigatethe synergism of chalcones with various β-lactam and non- β-lactam antibiotics.Methods:Clinical isolates of S. aureus were identified as MRSA with classical methods,commercial automated microbiological identification system (VITEK 2 ID test cards)and molecular methods (PCR method for detection of nuc and mecA gene). Genotypingof MRSA was performed with adequate PCR protocols for the detection of SCCmectype, agr type, Panton-Valentin leucocidin (PVL) gene and spa type. Different spatypes were clustered into spa clonal complexes (CC)...

Chalcones arecompounds with potent biological activities, amongst which are antibacterial, antiviral,antifungal, antiproliferative and antiinflammatory.The aim of the study: The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect ofthree newly-synthesized chalcones: 1,3- Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as O-OH), 3-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as M-OH) and 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone (furtherreferred as P-OH) against genetically diverse clinical isolates of MRSA, and the effecton physiological and biochemical characteristics and expression of virulence factors(production of glycocalyx, biofilm and adherence to human fibronectin) and productionof α-hemolysin of these bacteria. One of the aims of this study was also to investigatethe synergism of chalcones with various β-lactam and non- β-lactam antibiotics.Methods:Clinical isolates of S. aureus were identified as MRSA with classical methods,commercial automated microbiological identification system (VITEK 2 ID test cards)and molecular methods (PCR method for detection of nuc and mecA gene). Genotypingof MRSA was performed with adequate PCR protocols for the detection of SCCmectype, agr type, Panton-Valentin leucocidin (PVL) gene and spa type. Different spatypes were clustered into spa clonal complexes (CC)...",

AB  - Biofilm formation and adherence of bacteria to host tissue are one of the most important virulence factors of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The number of resistant strains is seriously increasing during the past years and bacteria have become resistant, not only to methicillin, but also to other commonly used antistaphylococcal antibiotics. There is a great need for discovering a novel antimicrobial agent for the treatment of staphylococcal infections. One of the most promising groups of compounds appears to be chalcones. In present study we evaluated the in vitro effect of three newly synthesized chalcones: 1,3-Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone, 3-(3-Hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone and 3-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-propenone on glycocalyx production, biofilm formation and adherence to human fibronectin of clinical isolates and laboratory control strain of MRSA (ATCC 43300). Subinhibitory concentrations of the tested compounds reduced the production of glycocalyx, biofilm formation and adherence to human fibronectin of all MRSA strains. Inhibition of biofilm formation was dose dependent and the most effective was 1,3-Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone. In our study we demonstrated that three newly-synthesized chalcones exhibited significant effect on adherence and biofilm formation of MRSA strains. Chalcones may be considered as promising new antimicrobial agents that can be used for prevention of staphylococcal infections or as adjunct to antibiotics in conventional therapy.

AB  - Background & objectives: Multidrug-resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a serious therapeutical problem. Chalcones belong to a group of naturally occurring flavonoids, usually found in various plant species, and have potent antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activities. The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of three newly-synthesized chalcones against clinical isolates of MRSA, and their synergism with beta-lactam and non-beta-lactam antibiotics. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of the three newly-synthesized chalcones was tested against 19 clinical isolates of MRSA and a laboratory control strain of MRSA (ATCC 43300). The synergism with beta-lactams: cefotaxime (CFX), ceftriaxone (CTX), and non-beta-lactam antibiotics: ciprofloxacin (CIP), gentamicin (GEN) and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) was investigated by checkerboard method. Results: All evaluated compounds showed significant anti-MRSA activity with MIC values from 25-200 g/ml. Observed synergism with antibiotics demonstrated that chalcones significantly enhanced the efficacy of CIP, GEN and TMP-SMX. Interpretation & conclusions: our study demonstrated that three newly-synthesized chalcones exhibited significant anti-MRSA effect and synergism with non-beta-lactam antibiotics. The most effective compound was 1,3-Bis-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone. Our results provide useful information for future research of possible application of chalcones in combination with conventional anti-MRSA therapy as promising new antimicrobial agents.
