In vitro antibacterial and early stage biofilm inhibitory potential of an edible chitosan and its phenolic conjugates against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the antibacterial potential of chitosan grafted with phenolics (CPCs) such as caffeic acid (CCA), ferulic (CFA), and sinapic acid (CSA) were evaluated against foodborne pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Listeria monocytogenes (LM). The geometric means of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC range 0.05-0.33 mg/ml), bactericidal concentration (MBC range 0.30-0.45 mg/ml), biofilm inhibitory concentration (BIC range 0.42-0.83 mg/ml), and biofilm eradication concentration (BEC range 1.71-3.70 mg/ml) of CPCs were found to be lower than the MIC (0.12-1.08 mg/ml), MBC (0.17-1.84 mg/ml), BIC (4.0-4.50 mg/ml), and BEC (17.4-23.0 mg/ml) of unmodified chitosan against PA and LM. CPCs attenuated the biofilms of PA and LM by increasing the membrane permeability of bacteria embedded within the biofilms. Further, sub MIC of CPCs (0.5?×?MIC) significantly reduced the biofilm adhesion (p?

Project description:The recent emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria requires the development of new antibiotics or new agents capable of enhancing antibiotic activity. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of lysozyme-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates (LYZOX) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which should resolve the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bactericidal tests showed that LYZOX killed 50% more P. aeruginosa (NBRC 13275), A. baumannii and MRSA than the control treatment after 60 min. In addition, LYZOX was shown to inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa (NBRC 13275 and PAO1), A. baumannii and MRSA better than its components. To elucidate the antibacterial mechanism of LYZOX, we performed cell membrane integrity assays, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine assays, 2-nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside assays and confocal laser scanning microscopy. These results showed that LYZOX affected bacterial cell walls and increased the permeability of the outer membrane and the plasma membrane. Furthermore, each type of bacteria treated with LYZOX was observed by electron microscopy. Electron micrographs revealed that these bacteria had the morphological features of both lysozyme-treated and chitosan oligosaccharide-treated bacteria and that LYZOX destroyed bacterial cell walls, which caused the release of intracellular contents from cells. An acquired drug resistance test revealed that these bacteria were not able to acquire resistance to LYZOX. The hemolytic toxicity test demonstrated the low hemolytic activity of LYZOX. In conclusion, LYZOX exhibited antibacterial activity and low drug resistance in the presence of P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii and MRSA and showed low hemolytic toxicity. LYZOX affected bacterial membranes, leading to membrane disruption and the release of intracellular contents and consequent bacterial cell death. LYZOX may serve as a novel candidate drug that could be used for the control of refractory infections.
