Alpha-mangostin (α-MG) has been reported to be an effective antibacterial agent against planktonic cells of many Gram-positive bacteria. However, the antibiofilm potency of α-MG remains unexplored till date. In this study, the antibiofilm and mature biofilm eradication ability of α-MG against Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A (ATCC 35984) biofilms were evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of α-MG against S. epidermidis RP62A were found to be 1.25 and 5 μg/mL, respectively. α-MG exhibited a phenomenal concentration dependent rapid bactericidal activity (>4-log reduction within 5 min). In a multi-passage resistance analysis using S. epidermidis, no development of resistance to α-MG as well as antibiotics was observed in its habituation. α-MG at its 1/2 MIC effectively inhibited the initial biofilm formation of S. epidermidis, which was further confirmed through scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis that portrayed a lucid reduction in the aggregation and the spread of biofilm. The crystal violet staining and viable cell quantification results confirmed the eradication of preformed immature and mature biofilms of S. epidermidis by α-MG in a concentration dependent manner. Besides, the biofilm eradication ability was also confirmed through SEM and live/dead BacLight staining using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Thus, the present study exemplifies that α-MG could plausibly assist to eliminate biofilm infections associated with multidrug-resistance staphylococci.
据报道,α-山竹黄酮(α-MG)是一种针对多种革兰氏阳性菌浮游细胞的有效抗菌剂。然而,迄今为止,α-MG的抗生物膜效力仍未得到探索。在本研究中,评估了α-MG对表皮葡萄球菌RP62A(ATCC 35984)生物膜的抗生物膜和成熟生物膜根除能力。发现α-MG对表皮葡萄球菌RP62A的最小抑菌浓度(MIC)和最小杀菌浓度(MBC)分别为1.25和5μg/mL。α-MG表现出显著的浓度依赖性快速杀菌活性(5分钟内>4个对数级的减少)。在使用表皮葡萄球菌的多代耐药性分析中,未观察到其对α-MG以及抗生素产生耐药性。α-MG在其1/2 MIC时有效抑制了表皮葡萄球菌的初始生物膜形成,扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析进一步证实了这一点,该分析显示生物膜的聚集和扩散明显减少。结晶紫染色和活细胞定量结果证实,α-MG以浓度依赖性方式根除了表皮葡萄球菌预先形成的未成熟和成熟生物膜。此外,通过SEM以及使用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)的活/死BacLight染色也证实了生物膜根除能力。因此,本研究表明,α-MG可能有助于消除与多重耐药葡萄球菌相关的生物膜感染。
