Opis:
The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of lipopeptide biosurfactants from surfactin, iturin and fengycin families, synthesised by the Bacillus subtilis I'1a strain, on uropathogenic bacteria, including the effects on planktonic growth, processes of biofilm formation and dislodging. Antimicrobial activity was tested against 32 uropathogenic strains belonging to 12 different species of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The sensitivity of 25 tested bacterial strains to the B. subtilis I'1a filtrate was confirmed by an agar diffusion assay. None of the strains seemed to be sensitive to pure surfactin at concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg × ml-1 to 0.4 mg ml-1. After the treatment of uropathogens with B. subtilis lipopeptides, the metabolic activity of planktonic cells was inhibited by 88.05±3.96% in the case of 21 studied uropathogens, the process of biofilm formation was reduced by 88.15±4.77% in the case of 24 uropathogens and mature biofilms of 18 strains were dislodged by about 81.20±4.72%. Ten strains of uropathogenic bacteria were selected to study the antimicrobial activity of surfactin (concentrations 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg × ml-1). Surfactin had no influence on the metabolic activity of planktonic forms of uropathogens, however, biofilms of 5 tested strains were reduced by 64.77±9.05% in the presence of this biosurfactant at the concentration 0.1 mg × ml-1. The negative effect of the compound on the biofilm formation process was observed at all concentrations used. The above-described results were fully confirmed by CLSM. It could suggest that synergistic application of biosurfactants could be efficient in uropathogen eradication.

Opis:
Biofilms are complex bacterial communities that resist the action of antibiotics and the human immune system. Bacteria within biofilms are the cause of numerous, almost impossible to eradicate, persistent infections. Biofilms can form on many medical devices and implants, and so have an enormous impact on medicine. Due to the lack of effective anti-biofilm antibiotics, novel alternative compounds or strategies are urgently required. This review describes some of the latest approaches in the field of biofilm treatment. New anti-biofilm technologies target different stages in the biofilm formation process. Some act to modify the colonized biomaterials to make them resistant to biofilm formation. One potentially important candidate treatment uses silver nanoparticles that show anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activity. The biological action of nano-silver is complex and seems to involve a number of pathways. However, there have been few reports on the anti-biofilm activity of silver nanoparticles and the precise mechanism underlying their action remains unresolved. Here, we describe some anti-biofilm approaches employing AgNPs and consider the challenges and problems that need to be addressed in order to make silver nanoparticles a part of an effective anti-biofilm strategy.

Opis:
An increase in the antibiotic resistance among Enterococcus faecium strains has been observed worldwide. Moreover, this bacteria has the ability to produce several virulence factors and to form biofilm that plays an important role in human infections. This study was designed to compare the antibiotic resistance and the prevalence of genes encoding surface protein (esp), aggregation substance (as), surface adhesin (efaA), collagen adhesin (ace), gelatinase (gelE), and hialuronidase (hyl) between biofilm-producing and non-producing E. faecium strains. Therefore, ninety E. faecium clinical isolates were tested for biofilm-forming ability, and then were assigned to two groups: biofilm-positive (BIO+, n =70) and biofilm-negative (BIO-, n = 20). Comparison of these groups showed that BIO+ isolates were resistant to β-lactams, whereas 10% of BIO- strains were susceptible to ampicillin (statistically significant difference, p = 0.007) and 5% to imipenem. Linezolid and tigecycline were the only antibiotics active against all tested isolates. Analysis of the virulence factors revealed that ace, efaA, and gelE genes occurred more frequently in BIO- strains (ace in 50% BIO+ vs. 75% BIO-; efaA 44.3% vs. 85%; gelE 2.9% vs. 15%, respectively), while hyl gene appeared more frequently in BIO+ isolates (87.1% BIO+ vs. 65% BIO-). These differences were significant (p < 0.05). We concluded that BIO+ strains were more resistant to antibiotics than BIO- strains, but interestingly, BIO- isolates were characterized by possession of higher virulence capabilities.

A model of bacterial filtration on fibrous filter media is developed. The single fibre efficiency as well as the efficiency of the whole filter – at the onset of the process and the evolution of those quantities - are analysed. The differences between the numerical modelling of colloidal particles and bacteria are stressed in detail. The main differences are the active motion ability of bacteria and biofilm formation. The parameters of the model were identified based on the literature data.

Opis:
Purpose: Enterococcus faecium strains have been reported worldwide as etiologic factors of many nosocomial infections, which are difficult to manage because of the constantly increasing resistance of these microorganisms to antibiotics and the ability to form biofilm. The aim of this study was to analyze the ability to produce a biofilm in E. faecium strains, depending on the patient’s clinical material. Materials and methods: Sixty-six E. faecium strains were investigated. Identification and susceptibility testing were conducted by the VITEK2 system. The ability to form biofilm was assessed by phenotypic methods. The presence of selected virulence genes was established by PCR followed by gel electrophoresis and sequencing. Results: Among the tested E. faecium isolates, 72.7% were biofilm-positive (BIO+) and 27.3% biofilm-negative (BIO-). Strains were collected mostly from rectal swabs (30.4%) and blood (18.3%). BIO+ strains from infections constituted 31.8% (52.4% isolated from blood) and from colonization 40.9% (48.2% from rectal swabs). 91.7% of the Blood Group strains and 68.5% of the Other Group strains produced biofilm. Strains from the Colonization Group produced biofilm in a proportion similar to the Infection Group (about 75%). There were no statistically significant differences in virulence and resistance, except for vancomycin (more resistant BIO+ Other than the BIO+ Blood Group, and more resistant BIO+ Colonization than BIO+ Infection Group) and teicoplanin (more resistant BIO+ Colonization than the BIO+ Infection Group). Conclusion: The majority of E. faecium isolates carries high levels of resistance to many antimicrobials, is well equipped with virulence genes, and possesses the ability to form biofilm.

Opis:
W niekorzystnych warunkach środowiska, mikroorganizmy zasiedlają zarówno powierzchnie abiotyczne, jak i biotyczne takie jak tkanki zwierzęce czy roślinne, tworząc struktury biofilmu charakteryzujące się wysoką opornością. Adhezja mikroorganizmów, szczególnie patogenów oportunistycznych, niesie niebezpieczeństwo zasiedlania materiałów medycznych, co może doprowadzić do infekcji u osób z obniżoną odpornością. Chociaż dotychczasowe badania wskazują różne metody zapobiegania tworzeniu biofilmu, jego całkowita eliminacja ze środowiska jest nadal niemożliwa. Przedstawione opracowanie stanowi przegląd nowoczesnych metod usuwania dojrzałego biofilmu tworzonego przez patogeny oportunistyczne. Spośród wielu metod opisano m.in. zastosowanie: zimnej plazmy, ultradźwięków, pola elektrycznego, ozonowania wody, terapii fagowej, enzymów działających bezpośrednio na macierz biofilmu, bakteriocyn, środków chemicznych syntetycznych oraz pochodzenia naturalnego.
The inconvenient environmental conditions force microorganisms to colonize either abiotic surfaces or animal and plant tissues and, therefore, form more resistant structures – biofilms. The phenomenon of microbial adherence, opportunistic pathogens in particular, is of a great concern. Colonization of medical devices and biofilm formation on their surface, may lead to severe infections mainly in humans with impaired immune system. Although, current research consider various methods for prevention of microbial biofilms formation, still, once a biofilm is formed, its elimination is almost impossible. This study focuses on the overview of novel methods applied for eradication of mature opportunistic pathogens' biofilms. Among various techniques the following: cold plasma, electric field, ultrasounds, ozonated water treatment, phagotherapy, matrix targeting enzymes, bacteriocins, synthetic chemicals and natural origin compounds used for biofilm matrix disruption were briefly described.

Opis:
A new mechanism, stimulating the precipitation of calcite, is postulated. The supersaturation with respect to carbonate minerals is changed, as a result of CO2consumption by chemolithoautotrophic, hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria. This mechanism controls the growth of atypical, microcrystalline cave pisoids in Perlová Cave, in Slovakia. The pisoids grow under calm conditions in rimstone pools, where they are bathed continuously in stagnant water. The water is supersaturated, with respect to calcite and aragonite. The bacteria inhabit the outer parts of the pisoids, covered by biofilms. The biofilm influences the supply of the Ca2+ ion, slows down the precipitation rate, and favors calcite precipitation over that of aragonite. The calcite initially precipitates as bacterial replicas, which further act as seeds for the growing calcite crystals. This process leads to the obliteration of the primary, bacterial fabrics. Since hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria occur in a wide spectrum of natural habitats, the mechanism of calcification, postulated above, also may operate in other environments.

Opis:
The article deals with finely laminated microstromatolites composed of detrital siliciclastic particles, mainly quartz, feldspars and clay minerals, lining the walls of W Sopotni Wielkiej Cave (Polish Outer Carpa- thians). Newly precipitated mineral phases do not contribute to their growth. The microstromatolites cover vertical and overhanging walls of the cave. They form subhorizontal ripples and tongue-shaped stepped microterracettes. The stromatolites are constructed by bacteria and Actinomycetes. Seven morphotypes of micro-organisms have been distinguished. Trapping and binding of detrital particles result in the microstromatolite growth. The growth is influenced by the relatively close distance to the soil cover which provides detrital mineral particles and by the presence of gravitationally widened fissures which guide the water transporting mineral particles down to the cave. The particles are transported only during wet periods. The episodic supply of the particles results in visible lamination of microstromatolites. The microterracettes form in zones of increased water-flow. The lack of auto- chthonous components most probably reflects too low saturation of water to precipitate any minerals.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of enterococci (including vancomycin-resistant, VRE) strains in meat plants and evaluate their biofilm-forming potential. In two Polish meat plants, 75 samples of raw pork meat, swabs from work surfaces (floors, tables, machine parts and tools) and employees’ hands were collected. The analyses indicated that enterococci were present in more than 72% of the tested samples. In addition, VRE isolates were found in more than 25% of the tested samples (especially in cutting and processing rooms). VRE strains of Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis were resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, and rifampicin. Moreover, 77% of E. faecium and 43% of E. faecalis isolates showed biofilm-forming ability. The observed high biofilm-forming potential among the analyzed VRE strains indicates that these agents may play an essential role in spreading drug resistance in the food chain through contaminated surfaces, meat, and workers’ hands.

Background: Bacterial biofilms have been linked to recurrent adenotonsillar diseases, with special concern regarding therapeutic management hindered by antibiotic resistance. Aims: we aimed to find if there was a relationship between the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy in patients with chronic tonsillitis. Patients and Methods: Tissue samples from tonsillar biopsies of 30 children who underwent tonsillectomy were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Settings and Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2012 and July 2015 in Al-Azhar University Hospitals. Results: It was found that 23.3% of children had a fully formed bacterial biofilm (Grade III), 6.7% had grade I and 6.7% had grade II biofilms as demonstrated by SEM. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common identified isolate (26%) followed by Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (17.4%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.4%). No statistically significant difference regarding the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy or adenoid hypertrophy was found. Conclusion: Bacterial biofilm is a possible cause of the chronicity of tonsillar diseases in children. There is no relationship between the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy or adenoid hypertrophy.

Opis:
Escherichia coli is known as one of the bacterial species with the widest adaptability to variety of niches either within organisms or outside in environment. Most strains of E. coli are of low virulence and associated with opportunistic infections, whereas others are highly virulent. The success of E. coli in colonising such a wide range of hosts and environments is basically due to a noticeable ductility in exploiting the available resources. It is becoming increasingly clear that biofilms have an enormous impact on medicine because since 65% of animal and human bacterial infections involve biofilms. In present study, we isolated strains of E. coli from animals. 19 interesting isolates were selected and tested by PCR amplification to virulence - iutA, cvaC, iss, tsh, papC, kps, iha and iron metabolism genes - sitA, feoB, irp2, fyuA, iroN, ireA. The ability of biofilm formation was assessed in a quantitative assay using a microtiter-plate test. Bacterial strains were grown on BHI. We divided isolates of E. coli into four classes: very weak (63.0%), weak (10.5%), moderate (10.5%) and strong (16.0%) biofilm producers. Representation genes of virulence were highly in isolates from very weak biofilm producers - from 7 genes were 6 highly; only papC (P fimbrial adhesin) was low. Genes of iron metabolism were different. Genes - sitA, fyuA, ireA in strong isolates producing biofilm and feoB, irp2, iroN in weak producers were most represented. The results show possible relation between presence virulence factor and low biofilm formation.

Opis:
The microbial contamination of water miscible metalworking fl uids (MWFs) is a serious problem in metal industry. A good maintenance of MWF re-circulation systems can extend the lifetime of coolants and ensure the quality of the tools produced. In MWFs, as in the other water-based environments, microorganisms usually live in the form of biofi lms, the communities of bacteria and fungi attached to the surface of sumps, metal parts and also to each other. Biofi lms exhibit very high resistance to biocides. The effect of biocides that are used as additives to MWFs to control the growth of the bacterial and fungal microbiomes (microorganisms characteristic to the individual coolant system) have become the subject of research only in recent years. There are also only sparse reports on the impact of biocides on microorganisms growing in biofi lms in MWF installations. Fast growing mycobacteria are important members of these biofi lm communities. Their presence has recently been linked with the occurrence of cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a serious respiratory disorder in the metal industry employees. The new, relatively fast and inexpensive techniques to assess the species diversity within MWF microbiomes and their population size should be developed in order to control the microorganisms’ proliferation in MWFs and to diminish the occupational exposure to harmful bioaerosols in metal industry.
