Characterization of Anti-Bacterial Effect of the Two New Phages against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Project description:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the events that most frequently need medical intervention. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli are frequently their causative agents and the infections are sometimes complicated by the presence of polyresistant nosocomial strains. Phage therapy is a tool that has good prospects for the treatment of these infections. In the present study, we isolated and characterized two bacteriophages with broad host specificity against a panel of local uropathogenic E. coli strains and combined them into a phage cocktail. According to genome sequencing, these phages were closely related and belonged to the Tequatrovirus genus. The newly isolated phages showed very good activity on a panel of local clinical E. coli strains from urinary tract infections. In the form of a two-phage cocktail, they were active on E. coli strains belonging to phylogroups B2 and D, with relatively lower activity in B1 and no response in phylogroup A. Our study is a preliminary step toward the establishment of a national phage bank containing local, well-characterized phages with therapeutic potential for patients in Slovakia.

Interphage competition and biofilms reduce the lytic effect of two phages against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Clinical case studies have reported that the combined use of specific lytic phage(s) and antibiotics reduces the severity of difficult-to-treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in many patients. In vitro methods that attempt to reproduce specific pathophysiological conditions can provide a reliable assessment of the antibacterial effects of phages. Here, we measured bacterial killing kinetics and individual phage replication in different growth phases, including biofilms, elucidating factors influencing the efficacy of two phages against the laboratory strain P. aeruginosa PAO1. While two-phage combination treatment effectively eliminated P. aeruginosa in routine broth and in infected human lung cell cultures, the emergence of phage-resistant variants occurred under both conditions. Phage combination displayed initial inhibition of biofilm dispersal, but sustained control was achieved only with a combination of phages and meropenem. In contrast, surface-attached biofilm exhibited tolerance to phage and/or meropenem, suggesting a spatiotemporal variation in antibacterial effect. Moreover, the phage with the shorter lysis time killed P. aeruginosa more rapidly, selecting a specific nucleotide polymorphism that likely conferred a competitive disadvantage and cross resistance to the second phage of the combination. These findings highlight biofilm developmental phase, inter-phage competition and phage resistance as factors limiting the in vitro efficacy of a phage combination. However, their precise impact on the outcome of phage therapy remains uncertain, necessitating validation through phage efficacy trials in order to establish clearer correlations between laboratory assessments and clinical results.
