Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy in mice with Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected wounds.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the antibacterial effect of protoporphyrin IX-ethylenediamine derivative (PPIX-ED)-mediated photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PPIX-ED-PACT) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and in vivo. PPIX-ED potently inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inducing reactive oxygen species production via photoactivation. Atomic force microscopy revealed that PPIX-ED-PACT induced the leakage of bacterial content by degrading the bacterial membrane and wall. As revealed using acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, PPIX-ED-PACT altered the permeability of the bacterial membrane. In addition, the antibacterial effect of PPIX-ED-PACT was demonstrated in an in vivo model of P. aeruginosa-infected wounds. PPIX-ED (100 ?M) decreased the number of P. aeruginosa colony-forming units by 4.2 log10. Moreover, histological analysis illustrated that the wound healing rate was 98% on day 14 after treatment, which was 10% higher than that in the control group. According to the present findings, PPIX-ED-PACT can effectively inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The measurement of specific volatile organic compounds in breath has been proposed as a potential diagnostic for a variety of diseases. The most well-studied bacterial lung infection in the breath field is that caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. OBJECTIVES:To determine a discriminatory core of molecules in the "breath-print" of mice during a lung infection with four strains of P. aeruginosa (PAO1, PA14, PAK, PA7). Furthermore, we attempted to extrapolate a strain-specific "breath-print" signature to investigate the possibility of recapitulating the genetic phylogenetic groups (Stewart et al. Pathog Dis 71(1), 20-25, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1111/2049-632X.12107 ). METHODS:Breath was collected into a Tedlar bag and shortly after drawn into a thermal desorption tube. The latter was then analyzed into a comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Random forest algorithm was used for selecting the most discriminatory features and creating a prediction model. RESULTS:Three hundred and one molecules were significantly different between animals infected with P. aeruginosa, and those given a sham infection (PBS) or inoculated with UV-killed P. aeruginosa. Of those, nine metabolites could be used to discriminate between the three groups with an accuracy of 81%. Hierarchical clustering showed that the signature from breath was due to a specific response to live bacteria instead of a generic infection response. Furthermore, we identified ten additional volatile metabolites that could differentiate mice infected with different strains of P. aeruginosa. A phylogram generated from the ten metabolites showed that PAO1 and PA7 were the most distinct group, while PAK and PA14 were interspersed between the former two groups. CONCLUSIONS:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report on a 'core' murine breath print, as well as, strain level differences between the compounds in breath. We provide identifications (by running commercially available analytical standards) to five breath compounds that are predictive of P. aeruginosa infection.
