The study aimed to assess whether violacein has antimicrobial activity on Staphylococcus epidermidis and synergistically modulates the action of commercially available antimicrobial drugs.
Violacein showed excellent antimicrobial activity on biofilm-forming and nonbiofilm-forming S. epidermidis strains (ATCC 35984) (ATCC 12228), with bacteriostatic (MIC = 20 μg ml and 10 μg ml respectively) and bactericidal effects (MBC = 20 μg ml for both strains), observed in short periods of exposure. The violacein bactericidal concentration led to S. epidermidis death after 2-3 h of exposure. Additionally, violacein synergistically modulated the activity of different antimicrobial classes on S. epidermidis ATCC 12228 (81·8%; n = 9) and on S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 (54·5%; n = 6), reducing the MIC of these antibiotics by up to 16-fold.
Violacein shows excellent antimicrobial activity on S. epidermidis strains.
Violacein shows the potential for the development of a new drug for the treatment of infections caused by S. epidermidis.
本研究旨在评估紫菌素对表皮葡萄球菌是否具有抗菌活性，以及是否能协同调节市售抗菌药物的作用。
紫菌素对形成生物膜和未形成生物膜的表皮葡萄球菌菌株（ATCC 35984）（ATCC 12228）显示出优异的抗菌活性，在短时间暴露下观察到抑菌作用（MIC分别为20μg/ml和10μg/ml）和杀菌作用（两种菌株的MBC均为20μg/ml）。紫菌素的杀菌浓度在暴露2至3小时后导致表皮葡萄球菌死亡。此外，紫菌素协同调节了不同抗菌类别对表皮葡萄球菌ATCC 12228（81.8%；n = 9）和表皮葡萄球菌ATCC 35984（54.5%；n = 6）的活性，将这些抗生素的MIC降低了多达16倍。
