Xu SY, Cao HY, Yang RH, Xu RX, Zhu XY, Ma W, Liu XB, Yan XY, Fu P. Genus Paeonia monoterpene glycosides: A systematic review on their pharmacological activities and molecular mechanisms. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 127:155483. [PMID: 38432036 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genus Paeonia, which is the main source of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chishao in Chinese), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao in Chinese) and Moutan Cortex (Mudanpi in Chinese), is rich in active pharmaceutical ingredient such as monoterpenoid glycosides (MPGs). MPGs from Paeonia have extensive pharmacological effects, but the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of MPGs has not been comprehensively reviewed. PURPOSE MPGs compounds are one of the main chemical components of the genus Paeonia, with a wide variety of compounds and strong pharmacological activities, and the structure of the mother nucleus-pinane skeleton is similar to that of a cage. The purpose of this review is to summarize the pharmacological activity and mechanism of action of MPGs from 2012 to 2023, providing reference direction for the development and utilization of Paeonia resources and preclinical research. METHODS Keywords and phrases are widely used in database searches, such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and X-Mol to search for citations related to the new compounds, extensive pharmacological research and molecular mechanisms of MPGs compounds of genus Paeonia. RESULTS Modern research confirms that MPGs are the main compounds in Paeonia that exert pharmacological effects. MPGs with extensive pharmacological characteristics are mainly concentrated in two categories: paeoniflorin derivatives and albiflflorin derivatives among MPGs, which contains 32 compounds. Among them, 5 components including paeoniflorin, albiflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, 6'-O-galloylpaeoniflorin and paeoniflorigenone have been extensively studied, while the other 28 components have only been confirmed to have a certain degree of anti-inflammatory and anticomplementary effects. Studies of pharmacological effects are widely involved in nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, immune system, etc., and some studies have identified clear mechanisms. MPGs exert pharmacological activity through multilateral mechanisms, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, inhibition of cell apoptosis, regulation of brain gut axis, regulation of gut microbiota and downregulation of mitochondrial apoptosis, etc. CONCLUSION: This systematic review delved into the pharmacological effects and related molecular mechanisms of MPGs. However, there are still some compounds in MPGs whose pharmacological effects and pharmacological mechanisms have not been clarified. In addition, extensive clinical randomized trials are needed to verify the efficacy and dosage of MPGs.

Abstract
Infections with drug-resistant bacteria have become one of the greatest public health challenges, and K. pneumoniae is among the top six drug-resistant bacteria. K. pneumoniae often causes nosocomial infections, leading to illnesses such as pneumonia, liver abscesses, soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and in some cases death. As the pathogen continues to evolve and its multidrug resistance increases, K. pneumoniae poses a direct threat to humans. Drug resistance in K. pneumoniae may occur due to the formation of biofilms, efflux pumps, and the production of β-lactamases. In many cases, resistance is further enhanced by enzymatic modification and loss of porins. Drug resistance to K. pneumoniae has led to a decline in the effectiveness of conventional therapies against this pathogen. Therefore, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of new antibiotics and explore new therapeutic approaches such as antimicrobial peptides, phages, traditional Chinese medicine, immunotherapy, Antimicrobial nanoparticle technology, antisense oligonucleotides and gene editing technologies. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of drug resistance in K. pneumoniae and compare several new potential therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance in the treatment of K. pneumoniae infections.

Abstract
Paeonia ostii 'Feng Dan' is widely cultivated in China for its ornamental, medicinal, and edible properties. The whole plant of tree peony is rich in bioactive substances, while the comprehensive understanding of metabolites in the leaves is limited. In this study, an untargeted metabolomics strategy based on UPLC-ESI-TOF-MS was conducted to analyze the dynamic variations of bioactive metabolites in P. ostii 'Feng Dan' leaves during development. A total of 321 metabolites were rapidly annotated based on the GNPS platform, in-house database, and publications. To accurately quantify the selected metabolites, a targeted method of HPLC-ESI-QQQ-MS was used. Albiflorin, paeoniflorin, pentagalloylglucose, luteolin 7-glucoside, and benzoylpaeoniflorin were recognized as the dominant bioactive compounds with significant content variations during leaf development. Metabolite variations during the development of P. ostii 'Feng Dan' leaves are greatly attributed to the variations in antioxidant activities. Among all tested bacteria, the leaf extract exhibited exceptional inhibitory effects against Streptococcus hemolytis-β. This research firstly provides new insights into tree peony leaves during development. The stages of S1-S2 may be the most promising harvesting time for potential use in food or pharmaceutical purposes.

J Periodontal Res 2023; 58:932-938. [PMID: 37340760 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paeoniflorin (Pae) is a monoterpene glycoside with immune-regulatory effects. Several studies have already demonstrated the impact of Pae on periodontitis, but its effect on diabetic periodontitis is unclear. In this study, our aim was to test the hypothesis that Pae had a strong anti-inflammatory effect that prevented bone loss in diabetic periodontitis. METHODS Thirty male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into control (healthy, n = 10), periodontitis (PD) + diabetes (DM; n = 10), and PD + DM + Pae (n = 10) groups. Ligature-induced periodontitis was created by placing 4-0 silk ligatures around the lower first molars on both sides of the mandibulae. Experimental DM was created via an injection of 50 mg/kg and streptozotocin (STZ). Hyperglycemia was confirmed by the blood glucose levels of rats (>300 mg/dL). The bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular number, trabecular thickness, and bone loss were measured by micro-CT. The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were measured in tissue homogenates by ELISA. RESULTS The PD + DM + Pae group had significantly less alveolar crest resorption when compared to the PD + DM group. There was also a significant difference between the PD + DM + Pae group compared to PD + DM group in trabecular thickness, BMD, and the number of trabeculae. Pae application led to a statistically significant decrease in IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in diabetic periodontitis. CONCLUSION Systemic application of Pae suppressed inflammation caused by PD and DM, leading to reduced bone loss and enhanced bone quality.

Abstract
To fight the global epidemic of drug-resistant bacteria, essential oils have gained increasing attention as a new source of antibiotics. The antimicrobial activity of Monarda didyma essential oils (MDEO) for the Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains were determined by agar disc diffusion assay and broth microdilution assay. To further understand MDEO efficacy, a time-growth curve was performed. The biofilm formation of CRKP were determined by crystalline violet staining method, additionally, changes in intracellular Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), protein, Alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities, and membrane integrity were investigated to assess the influence of MDEO on cell membrane damage. Finally, the activities of key enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathways and pentose phosphate (PPP) pathways were examined to determine the effect of MDEO on the respiratory metabolism of CRKP. This study presents the antibacterial mechanism of MDEO against CRKP with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 1.25 mg/ml. To understand MDEO efficacy, a time-kill kinetics approach was performed. The bactericidal effect of MDEO was evident at 2 h compared to the control at its MIC and 2MIC. Surface electron microscopic and ATP assay studies provided evidence for the multi-target action of MDEO against CRKP. MDEO could inhibit CRKP biofilm formation. MDEO could also cause irreversible damage to the CRKP cell membrane, resulting in the leakage of biological macromolecules (protein, ATP) and the reduction of intracellular enzymes (AKP) activities. Finally, MDEO affected the pathways of respiratory metabolism, such as PPP and TCA pathways. MDEO could reduce the activity of key enzymes (Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) in the PPP and TCA pathways to exert its biological effects against CRKP. These results suggest MDEO can exert inhibitory effects on CRKP, and potential mechanisms of action including inhibition of biofilm formation, damage of cell membrane structure and inhibition of energy metabolism.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3077. [PMID: 37687324 PMCID: PMC10490416 DOI: 10.3390/plants12173077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Undoubtedly, the advent of antibiotics in the 19th century had a substantial impact, increasing human life expectancy. However, a multitude of scientific investigations now indicate that we are currently experiencing a phase known as the post-antibiotic era. There is a genuine concern that we might regress to a time before antibiotics and confront widespread outbreaks of severe epidemic diseases, particularly those caused by bacterial infections. These investigations have demonstrated that epidemics thrive under environmental stressors such as climate change, the depletion of natural resources, and detrimental human activities such as wars, conflicts, antibiotic overuse, and pollution. Moreover, bacteria possess a remarkable ability to adapt and mutate. Unfortunately, the current development of antibiotics is insufficient, and the future appears grim unless we abandon our current approach of generating synthetic antibiotics that rapidly lose their effectiveness against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Despite their vital role in modern medicine, medicinal plants have served as the primary source of curative drugs since ancient times. Numerous scientific reports published over the past three decades suggest that medicinal plants could serve as a promising alternative to ineffective antibiotics in combating infectious diseases. Over the past few years, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, saponins, and terpenoids have exhibited noteworthy antibacterial potential, primarily through membrane-disruption mechanisms, protein binding, interference with intermediary metabolism, anti-quorum sensing, and anti-biofilm activity. However, to optimize their utilization as effective antibacterial drugs, further advancements in omics technologies and network pharmacology will be required in order to identify optimal combinations among these compounds or in conjunction with antibiotics.

Treatment with paeoniflorin increases lifespan of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting bacterial accumulation in intestinal lumen and biofilm formation. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1114219.

Abstract
Paeoniflorin is one of the important components in Paeoniaceae plants. In this study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a bacterial pathogen to investigate the possible role of paeoniflorin treatment against P. aeruginosa infection in the host and the underlying mechanisms. Posttreatment with 1.25–10 mg/L paeoniflorin could significantly increase the lifespan of P. aeruginosa infected nematodes. After the infection, the P. aeruginosa colony-forming unit (CFU) and P. aeruginosa accumulation in intestinal lumen were also obviously reduced by 1.25–10 mg/L paeoniflorin treatment. The beneficial effects of paeoniflorin treatment in increasing lifespan in P. aeruginosa infected nematodes and in reducing P. aeruginosa accumulation in intestinal lumen could be inhibited by RNAi of pmk-1, egl-1, and bar-1. In addition, paeoniflorin treatment suppressed the inhibition in expressions of pmk-1, egl-1, and bar-1 caused by P. aeruginosa infection in nematodes, suggesting that paeoniflorin could increase lifespan of P. aeruginosa infected nematode by activating PMK-1, EGL-1, and BAR-1. Moreover, although treatment with 1.25–10 mg/L paeoniflorin did not show obvious anti-P. aeruginosa activity, the P. aeruginosa biofilm formation and expressions of related virulence genes (pelA, pelB, phzA, lasB, lasR, rhlA, and rhlC) were significantly inhibited by paeoniflorin treatment. Treatment with 1.25–10 mg/L paeoniflorin could further decrease the levels of related virulence factors of pyocyanin, elastase, and rhamnolipid. In addition, 2.5–10 mg/L paeoniflorin treatment could inhibit the swimming, swarming, and twitching motility of P. aeruginosa, and treatment with 2.5–10 mg/L paeoniflorin reduced the cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) level. Therefore, paeoniflorin treatment has the potential to extend lifespan of P. aeruginosa infected hosts by reducing bacterial accumulation in intestinal lumen and inhibiting bacterial biofilm formation.

Paeoniflorin alleviates inflammation in bovine mammary epithelial cells induced by Staphylococcus haemolyticus through TLR2/NF-κB signaling pathways. Res Vet Sci 2023; 156:95-103. [PMID: 36796241 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2023.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023]
Abstract
Staphylococcus haemolyticus (S. haemolyticus) is one of the most common coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates from bovine mastitis. Paeoniflorin (PF) shows anti-inflammatory effects on different inflammatory diseases in vitro studies and in vivo animal experiments. In this study, the viability of bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) was detected by the cell counting kit-8 experiment. Subsequently, bMECs were induced with S. haemolyticus, and the induction dosage was determined. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and toll-like receptor (TLR2) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway-related genes were investigated by quantitative real-time PCR. The critical pathway proteins were detected by western blot. The results showed that the multiplicity of infection (MOI; the ratio of bacteria to bMECs) 5:1 of S. haemolyticus for 12 h could cause cellular inflammation, which was selected to establish the inflammatory model. Incubation with 50 μg/ml PF for 12 h was the best intervention condition for cells stimulated by S. hemolyticus. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analysis showed that PF inhibited the activation of TLR2 and NF-κB pathway-related genes and the expression of related proteins. Western blot results showed that PF suppressed the expression of NF-κB unit p65, NF-κB unit p50, and MyD88 in bMECs stimulated by S. haemolyticus. The inflammatory response pathway and molecular mechanism caused by S. haemolyticus on bMECs are related to TLR2-mediated NF-κB signaling pathways. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of PF may also be through this pathway. Therefore, PF is expected to develop potential drugs against CoNS-induced bovine mastitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increased resistance of bacterial pathogens to fluoroquinolones (FQs), such as norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin, supports the need to develop new antibacterial drugs and combination therapies using conventional antibiotics. The LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing (QS) system can regulate the complex group behaviour of Streptococcus suis and impact its susceptibility to FQs. OBJECTIVES We investigated the combination of paeoniflorin and norfloxacin as a novel and effective strategy against FQ-resistant S. suis. METHODS FIC, AI-2 activity assay, real-time RT-PCR and biofilm inhibition assays were performed to investigate the in vitro effect of paeoniflorin combined with norfloxacin. Mouse protection and mouse anti-infection assays were performed to investigate the in vivo effect of paeoniflorin combined with norfloxacin. RESULTS FIC results showed that paeoniflorin and norfloxacin exert a synergistic bactericidal effect. Evidence was brought that paeoniflorin reduces the S. suis AI-2 activity and significantly down-regulates the transcription of the FQ efflux pump gene. In addition, paeoniflorin can inhibit biofilm formation, thereby promoting the ability of norfloxacin to kill S. suis. Finally, we showed in a mouse model that paeoniflorin in association with norfloxacin is effective to treat S. suis infections. CONCLUSIONS This study highlighted the inhibitory potential of paeoniflorin on the LuxS/AI-2 QS system of S. suis, and provided evidence that it can inhibit the FQ efflux pump and prevent biofilm formation to cooperate with norfloxacin in the treatment of resistant S. suis-related infections.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of health-care associated infections. The rise of antibiotic resistance and the ability to form biofilm among K. pneumoniae strains are two key factors associated with antibiotic treatment failure. The present study investigates the antibiofilm activity of 1,8-cineole against preformed biofilms of multidrug-resistant extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. To evaluate the antibiofilm activity, cellular viability was analyzed by colony-forming units counting and live/dead staining. In addition, biofilm biomass was evaluated by crystal violet and the biofilm matrix was stained with calcofluor white and observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. A time- and concentration-dependent effect of the phytochemical over biofilm cell viability was observed revealing that 1% (v/v) 1,8-cineole during 1 h was the optimal treatment condition displaying a significant reduction of cell viability in the preformed biofilms (2.5-5.3 log cfu/cm2). Furthermore, confocal laser scanning microscopy after SYTO-9 and propidium iodide staining showed that 1,8-cineole was capable of killing bacteria throughout all layers of the biofilm. The compound also caused a biofilm disruption (30-62% biomass reduction determined by crystal violet staining) and a significant decrease in biofilm matrix density. Altogether, our results demonstrate that 1,8-cineole is a promising candidate as a novel antibiofilm agent against multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases, given its capability to disrupt the structure and to kill cells within the biofilm.

Abstract
In this work, a simple analytical strategy combining high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and the chemometric method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF), paeoniflorin (PAE), ferulic acid (FER), baicalin (BAI), and berberine (BER) in a Chinese medicine formula Wen-Qing-Yin (WQY). The alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm and alternating trilinear decomposition assisted multivariate curve resolution (ATLD-MCR) algorithm were used to realize the separation and rapid determination of five target analytes under the presence of time shifts, solvent peaks, peak overlaps, and unknown interferences. All analytes were eluted within 10 min and the linear correlation coefficients of calibration sets were between 0.9969 and 0.9996. In addition, the average recoveries of the five active compounds obtained by ATLD and ATLD-MCR analysis were in the range of 91.8–112.5% and 88.6–101.6%, respectively. For investigating the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method, figures of merit including limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), sensitivity (SEN), and selectivity (SEL) were calculated. The proposed analytical strategy has the advantages of being fast, simple, and sensitive, and can be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of WQY, providing a feasible option for the quality monitoring of the traditional Chinese medicine formula.

Abstract
Treatment to common bacterial infections are becoming ineffective of late, owing to the emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance globally. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most notorious microorganisms and are among the critical priority pathogens listed by WHO in 2017. These pathogens are the predominant cause of sepsis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, meningitis and pyogenic liver abscess. Concern arises due to the resistance of bacteria to most of the beta lactam antibiotics like penicillin, cephalosporin, monobactams and carbapenems, even to the last resort antibiotics like colistin. Preventing influx by modulation of porins, extruding the antibiotics by overexpression of efflux pumps, mutations of drug targets/receptors, biofilm formation, altering the drug molecules and rendering them ineffective are few resistance mechanisms that are adapted by Enterobacteriaeceae upon exposure to antibiotics. The situation is exacerbated due to the process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), wherein the genes encoding resistance mechanisms are transferred to the neighbouring bacteria through plasmids/phages/uptake of free DNA. Carbapenemases, other beta lactamases and mcr genes coding for colistin resistance are widely disseminated leading to limited/no therapeutic options against those infections. Development of new antibiotics can be viewed as a possible solution but it involves major investment, time and labour despite which, the bacteria can easily adapt to the new antibiotic and evolve resistance in a relatively short time. Targeting the resistance mechanisms can be one feasible alternative to tackle these multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Removal of plasmid (plasmid curing) causing resistance, use of bacteriophages and bacteriotherapy can be other potential approaches to combat infections caused by MDR E. coli and K. pneumoniae. The present review discusses the efficacies of these therapies in mitigating these infections, which can be potentially used as an adjuvant therapy along with existing antibiotics.

Abstract
Introduction: The authors aimed to investigate the biofilm-forming features of panresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (PRKp). Material & methods: The biofilm formations were shown under light microscope and laser scanning confocal microscopy. The optical densities of the wells were measured and classified according to biofilm-forming capacities. Results: The ratio of biofilm-forming K. pneumoniae was established to be 100%. All isolates were found to form high-level biofilms in classification compared with positive and negative controls. No significant difference was detected in the biofilm-forming capacities of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from different sample types. Conclusion: No previous study associated with PRKp isolates was identified in the literature search. There is a need for different approaches characterizing the biofilm-forming features of PRKp.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis (S. suis), more specifically serotype 2, is a bacterial pathogen that threatens the lives of pigs and humans. Like many other pathogens, S. suis exhibits quorum sensing (QS) system-controlled virulence factors, such as biofilm formation that complicates treatment. Therefore, impairing the QS involving LuxS/AI-2 cycle in S. suis, may be a promising alternative strategy for overcoming S. suis infections. In this study, we investigated paeoniflorin (PF), a monoterpenoid glycoside compound extracted from peony, as an inhibitor of S. suis LuxS/AI-2 system. At a sub-minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) (1/16 MIC; 25 μg/ml), PF significantly reduced biofilm formation by S. suis through inhibition of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production, without affecting bacterial growth. Moreover, evidence was brought that PF reduces AI-2 activity in S. suis biofilm. Molecular docking indicated that LuxS may be the target of PF. Monitoring LuxS enzymatic activity confirmed that PF had a partial inhibitory effect. Finally, we showed that the use of PF in a mouse model can relieve S. suis infections. This study highlighted the anti-biofilm potential of PF against S. suis, and brought evidence that it may as an inhibitor of the LuxS/AI-2 system to prevent S. suis biofilm-related infections. PF can thus be used as a new type of natural biofilm inhibitor for clinical application.

Abstract
To explore the feasibility of using fermented Chinese herbal mixture Zhihuasi Tk (Z. Tk) supplementation to increase the swine production, the protective effect of dietary supplementation with Z. Tk on the intestinal oxidative stress model and the regulation of both growth performance and intestinal microbiota of weaned piglets were investigated in vitro. Our results showed that the addition of Z. Tk increased the cell viability, prevented the decrease of glutathione peroxidase, and significantly increased the total antioxidant capacity and reduced the damage caused by H2O2 to the tight junction proteins of the porcine small intestinal epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2). Furthermore, weaned piglets supplemented with either 2 kg/ton zinc oxide (ZnO) or 4 kg/ton of Z. Tk in the diet increased body weight as well as average daily feed intake and daily gain, while the feed conversion rate and diarrhea rate decreased within 0–35 days. Results of the taxonomic structure of the intestinal microbiota showed that, in 21 days after weaning, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in experimental group was increased, while the abundance of beneficial bacteria such, as Lactobacillus, was increased by Z. Tk, showing inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria such as members of Proteobacteria. In summary, dietary supplementation with Z. Tk maintained the intestinal microbiota in a favorable state for the host to effectively reduce the abnormal changes in the intestinal microbial structure and improved growth performance of weaned piglets. Therefore, Z. Tk may potentially function as a substitute for ZnO in feed additives for weaned piglets in modern husbandry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains cause infectious diseases in poultry. Resveratrol is extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum, Cassia tora Linn and Vitis vinifera, and displays good antimicrobial activity. The present study aimed to investigate the antibiofilm effect of resveratrol on APEC in vitro. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of resveratrol and the antibiotic florfenicol toward APEC were detected using the broth microdilution method. Then, the effect of resveratrol on swimming and swarming motility was investigated using a semisolid medium culture method. Subsequently, the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) and the biofilm eradication rate were evaluated using crystal violet staining. Finally, the antibiofilm activity of resveratrol was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Meanwhile, the effects of florfenicol combined with resveratrol against biofilm formation by APEC were evaluated using optical microscopy (OM) and a confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). RESULTS The MICs of resveratrol and florfenicol toward APEC were 128 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL, respectively. The swimming and swarming motility abilities of APEC were inhibited in a resveratrol dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, resveratrol showed a significant inhibitory activity against APEC biofilm formation at concentrations above 1 μg/mL (p < 0.01). Meanwhile, the inhibitory effect of resveratrol at 32 μg/mL on biofilm formation was observed using SEM. The APEC biofilm was eradicated at 32 μg/mL of resveratrol combined with 64 μg/mL of florfenicol, which was observed using CLSM and OM. Florfenicol had a slight eradication effect of biofilm formation, whereas resveratrol had a strong biofilm eradication effect toward APEC. CONCLUSION Resveratrol displayed good antibiofilm activity against APEC in vitro, including inhibition of swimming and swarming motility, biofilm formation, and could eradicate the biofilm.

Abstract
Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae are major foodborne pathogens and can form challenging single/mixed biofilms. A recent study demonstrated that luteolin (LUT) exhibits antibacterial activities against some pathogens; however, the mechanisms underlying the effects of LUT on planktonic and biofilm bacteria have never been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity and its mechanism of action against E. coli and E. cloacae. Here, the antimicrobial mode of LUT was explored by evaluating alterations in both cell membrane integrity and cell morphology, and the antibiofilm activity of LUT was investigated using quantitative and qualitative assays. The results showed that minimal inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values of LUT against E. coli were 64 and 128 μg/mL and 128 and 256 μg/mL for E. cloacae mono- and dual-species, respectively. LUT impaired cell membrane integrity, as demonstrated by the remarkable increase in the number of membrane-damaged cells and definite variations in cell morphology. Moreover, LUT presented robust inhibitory effects on biofilm formation and the capacity to kill mono- and dual-species biofilm cells. Overall, these data show the potential benefit of using a natural antimicrobial and/or preservative in the food industry, LUT, to control mono- and mixed-species or biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that ursolic acid (UA) present in apple pomace displays antimicrobial activity against some microorganisms, but the underlying mechanisms associated with this activity remain unexplored. Furthermore, there are no reports on the effect of UA on carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). This study examined the antimicrobial activity and mode of action of UA against CRKP was examined. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of UA against CRKP was determined by the agar dilution method. Variations in the intracellular pH (pHin), ATP concentration, and cell membrane potential were measured to assess the influence of UA on the cell membrane. Our results show that UA was effective against CRKP at an MIC of 0.8 mg ml-1. UA disrupted the cell membrane integrity of CRKP, exhibited strong inhibitory effects against biofilm formation and biofilm-related gene expression, and inactivated CRKP cells encased in biofilms. Thus, UA shows promise for use in combination with other antibiotics to treat multidrug resistant K. pneumoniae infections.

Efficacy of Chelerythrine Against Mono- and Dual-Species Biofilms of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus and Its Properties of Inducing Hypha-to-Yeast Transition of C. albicans. J Fungi (Basel) 2020; 6:jof6020045. [PMID: 32252437 PMCID: PMC7345410 DOI: 10.3390/jof6020045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus specifically often resulted in biofilm-associated diseases, ranging from superficial mucosal to life-threatening systemic infections. Recent studies reported that chelerythrine displayed antimicrobial activities against a few microorganisms, but its effects on mono- and dual-species biofilms of C. albicans and S. aureus have never been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of chelerythrine against mono- and dual-species biofilms, and explore its effect on the hyphal growth and the hypha-to-yeast transition of C. albicans. The results showed that minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC90S) of chelerythrine against planktonic cells of mono-species were 4 and 2 μg/mL, while the MIC and MBIC90 were 6 and 3 μg/mL for dual-species. Meanwhile, the decrease in three matrix component levels and tolerance to antibiotics of biofilms formed by mono- and dual-species exposed to chelerythrine were confirmed by a confocal laser scanning microscope, in conjugation with five fluorescent dyes and a gatifloxacin diffusion assay. Moreover, C. albicans and S. aureus mono-species showed a 96.4, and 92.3% reduction, respectively, in 24-h preformed biofilm biomass in the presence of 128 µg/mL of chelerythrine. Similarly, preformed (24 h) dual-species biofilm biomass also displayed a significant reduction (90.7%) when treated with 192 μg/mL chelerythrine. Chelerythrine inhibited hyphae formation of C. albicans at 4 μg/mL, and C. albicans in hypha-form can be converted into yeast-form at 8 μg/mL of chelerythrine. Therefore, chelerythrine shows promise as a potential antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent for clinical effective treatments of mono- and mixed-species and/or biofilm-associated infections.

Sanguinarine Inhibits Mono- and Dual-Species Biofilm Formation by Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus and Induces Mature Hypha Transition of C. albicans. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13010013. [PMID: 31941090 PMCID: PMC7168937 DOI: 10.3390/ph13010013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have reported that sanguinarine possesses inhibitory activities against several microorganisms, but its effects on mono- and dual-species biofilms of C. albicans and S. aureus have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sanguinarine for mono- and dual-species biofilms and explore its ability to induce the hypha-to-yeast transition of C. albicans. The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC90) of sanguinarine against C. albicans and S. aureus mono-species biofilms was 4, and 2 μg/mL, respectively, while the MIC and MBIC90 of sanguinarine against dual-species biofilms was 8, and 4 μg/mL, respectively. The decrease in the levels of matrix component and tolerance to antibiotics of sanguinarine-treated mono- and dual-species biofilms was revealed by confocal laser scanning microscopy combined with fluorescent dyes, and the gatifloxacin diffusion assay, respectively. Meanwhile, sanguinarine at 128 and 256 μg/mL could efficiently eradicate the preformed 24-h biofilms by mono- and dual-species, respectively. Moreover, sanguinarine at 8 μg/mL could result in the transition of C. albicans from the mature hypha form to the unicellular yeast form. Hence, this study provides useful information for the development of new agents to combat mono- and dual-species biofilm-associated infections, caused by C. albicans and S. aureus.
