Biofilm-associated Staphylococcus epidermidis infections present clinically important features due to their high levels of resistance to traditional antibiotics. As a part of human innate immune system, serum shows different degrees of protection against systemic S. epidermidis infection. We investigated the ability of human serum as well as serum component to inhibit the formation of, and eradication of mature S. epidermidis biofilms. In addition, the synergistic effect of vancomycin combined with apo-Transferrin was checked. Human serum exhibited significant antibiofilm activities against S. epidermidis at the concentration without affecting planktonic cell growth. However, there was no effect of human serum on established biofilms. By component separation, we observed that antibiofilm effect of serum components mainly due to the proteins could be damaged by heat inactivation (e.g., complement) or heat-stable proteins ≥100 kDa. In addition, serum apo-Transferrin showed modest antibiofilm effect, but without influence on S. epidermidis initial adhesion. And there was a synergistic antibiofilm interaction between vancomycin and apo-Transferrin against S. epidermidis. Our results indicate that serum or its components (heat-inactivated components or heat-stable proteins ≥100 kDa) could inhibits S. epidermidis biofilm formation. Besides, apo-Transferrin could partially reduce the biofilm formation at the concentration that does not inhibit planktonic cell growth.
与生物膜相关的表皮葡萄球菌感染由于对传统抗生素具有高度耐药性而呈现出重要的临床特征。作为人类固有免疫系统的一部分,血清对全身性表皮葡萄球菌感染表现出不同程度的保护作用。我们研究了人血清以及血清成分抑制表皮葡萄球菌成熟生物膜形成和消除已形成生物膜的能力。此外,还检测了万古霉素与脱铁转铁蛋白联合使用的协同作用。人血清在不影响浮游细胞生长的浓度下对表皮葡萄球菌表现出显著的抗生物膜活性。然而,人血清对已形成的生物膜没有作用。通过成分分离,我们观察到血清成分的抗生物膜作用主要归因于蛋白质,而这些蛋白质可能会因热灭活(如补体)或分子量≥100 kDa的热稳定蛋白质而受损。此外,血清脱铁转铁蛋白表现出适度的抗生物膜作用,但对表皮葡萄球菌的初始黏附没有影响。万古霉素与脱铁转铁蛋白对表皮葡萄球菌具有协同抗生物膜相互作用。我们的结果表明,血清或其成分(热灭活成分或分子量≥100 kDa的热稳定蛋白质)可以抑制表皮葡萄球菌生物膜的形成。此外,脱铁转铁蛋白在不抑制浮游细胞生长的浓度下可以部分减少生物膜的形成。
