Abstract

Pathogenic Leptospira spp. are the causative agent of leptospirosis. Biofilm formation in leptospires is a new area of study, and its role in pathogenesis is not fully explored. As in other biofilm-forming bacteria, Leptospira biofilm may play a significant role in antibiotic resistance. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility of Leptospira biofilm was investigated by 96-well plate assay using Alamar Blue. Leptospira biofilm showed five to sixfold increase in resistance in all the strains used. The range of minimal bactericidal concentrations for penicillin G, ampicillin, tetracycline, and doxycycline was 1,600 U/ml, 800-1,600 μg/ml, 800-1,600 μg/ml, and 800-1,600 μg/ml, respectively. In agar substrate, the biofilm showed six- to sevenfold increase in resistance to antibiotics compared to planktonic cell. The present study emphasizes the importance of biofilm formation and its antibiotic susceptibility patterns. This could pave the way for devising appropriate strategy to prevent the occurrence of potential chronic leptospirosis in endemic areas and also during an outbreak situation.

摘要

致病性钩端螺旋体属是钩端螺旋体病的病原体。钩端螺旋体形成生物膜是一个新的研究领域,其在发病机制中的作用尚未得到充分探索。与其他形成生物膜的细菌一样,钩端螺旋体生物膜可能在抗生素耐药性中发挥重要作用。在本研究中,使用阿拉玛蓝通过96孔板试验研究了钩端螺旋体生物膜的抗菌敏感性。在所使用的所有菌株中,钩端螺旋体生物膜的耐药性增加了五到六倍。青霉素G、氨苄青霉素、四环素和强力霉素的最小杀菌浓度范围分别为1600 U/ml、800 - 1600 μg/ml、800 - 1600 μg/ml和800 - 1600 μg/ml。在琼脂培养基中,与浮游细胞相比,生物膜对抗生素的耐药性增加了六到七倍。本研究强调了生物膜形成及其抗生素敏感性模式的重要性。这可能为制定适当策略以预防流行地区以及疫情爆发期间潜在慢性钩端螺旋体病的发生铺平道路。
