Time-dependent efficacy of combination of silver-containing hydroxyapatite coating and vancomycin on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation in vitro.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We developed a silver-containing hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) coating to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the main PJI-causing bacteria. Previously, we had reported the combined effect of Ag-HA coating and vancomycin (VCM) on MRSA biofilm formation 24 h after MRSA inoculation. In this study, we investigated the time-dependent efficacy of Ag-HA coating and VCM on MRSA biofilm formation on Ti discs in vitro by three-dimensional confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis.

Results

For the Ti VCM and HA VCM groups, the total biofilm volumes per area at 96 h after MRSA inoculation were significantly larger than those at 48 h after MRSA inoculation, respectively (p < 0.001). In contrast, for the Ag-HA VCM group, the total biofilm volume per area at 96 h was significantly smaller than that at 48 h (p < 0.0001). Moreover, 96 h after MRSA inoculation, the total biofilm volume per area of the Ag-HA VCM groups was significantly smaller than those of the Ti VCM and HA VCM groups (p < 0.0001). Thus, the combination of Ag-HA and VCM might be useful for the prevention of MRSA-associated PJI.

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to represent a significant clinical challenge, characterized by consistently elevated rates of morbidity and mortality. Care regimen success is still difficult and necessitates assessing new antibiotics as well as supplemental services, including source control and searching for alternative approaches to combating it. Hence, we propose to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) by employing a cell-free filter (CFF) of Streptomyces sp. to augment antibiotic activity and combat biofilm-forming MRSA. Seven bacterial isolates from clinical samples were identified, antibiotics were profiled with Vitek-2, and the phenotypic detecting of biofilm with Congo red medium and microplate assay was carried out. The PCR technique was used for detecting genes (icaA and icaD) coded in biofilm forming. The characterization of Ag-NPs was performed using several analytical methods, such as UV spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurement, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The antibacterial properties of Ag-NPs and oxacillin-Ag-NPs were assessed against standard strains and clinical isolates by employing the agar well diffusion technique and the microdilution assay. The biogenic synthesis Ag-NPs resulted in uniformly spherical particles, with an average size of 20 nm. These Ag-NPs demonstrated significant activity against biofilm-forming MRSA, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 12 to 15 μg/mL. Additionally, Ag-NPs completely impede biofilm formation by MRSA at sublethal doses of 0.75 MICs. The expression levels of the icaA and icaD genes were reduced by 1.9- to 2.2- and 2.4- to 2.8-fold, respectively. A significant synergistic effect was noted when Ag-NPs were used in combination with oxacillin, leading to reduced MICs of 1.87 μg/mL for oxacillin and 4.0 μg/mL for Ag-NPs against MRSA. The FICi of 0.375 further validated the synergistic relationship between oxacillin and Ag-NPs at the concentrations of 1.87 and 4 μg/mL. Findings from the time-kill test demonstrated the highest reduction in log10 (CFU)/mL of the initial MRSA inoculum after 12-hour exposure. The cytotoxicity analysis of Ag-NPs revealed no significant cytotoxic effects on the human skin cell line HFB-4 at low concentrations, with IC50 values of 61.40 µg/mL for HFB-4 and 34.2 µg/mL for HepG-2. Comparable with oxacillin-Ag-NPs, Ag-NPs showed no cytotoxic effects on HFB-4 at different concentrations and exhibited an IC50 value of 31.2 against HepG-2-cells. In conclusion, the biosynthesis of Ag-NPs has demonstrated effective antibacterial activity against MRSA and has completely hindered biofilm formation, suggesting a valuable alternative for clinical applications.
