Biofilms correspond to complex communities of microorganisms embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix. Biofilm lifestyle predominates in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic Gram negative pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of infections in humans, plants and animals. In this context, anti-biofilm can be considered a key strategy to control P. aeruginosa infections, thereby more research in the field is required. On the other hand, Lactobacillus species have been described as beneficial due to their anti-biofilm properties and their consequent effect against a wide spectrum of pathogens. In fact, biofilm-forming Lactobacilli seem to be more efficient than their planktonic counterpart to antagonise pathogenic bacteria. In this work, we demonstrated that Lactobacillus kunkeei, a novel Lactobacillus species isolated from honeybee guts, can form biofilms in vitro. In addition, the L. kunkeei biofilm can, in turn, inhibit the formation of P. aeruginosa biofilms. Finally, we found that L. kunkeei strains attenuate infection of P. aeruginosa in the Galleria mellonella model, presumably by affecting P. aeruginosa biofilm formation and/or their stability. Since L. kunkeei presents characteristics of a probiotic, this work provides evidence arguing that the use of this Lactobacillus species in both animals (including insects) and humans could contribute to impair P. aeruginosa biofilm formation.
生物膜是由微生物嵌入细胞外聚合物基质中形成的复杂群落。生物膜生活方式在铜绿假单胞菌中占主导地位,铜绿假单胞菌是一种机会性革兰氏阴性病原体,可导致人类、植物和动物的广泛感染。在这种情况下,抗生物膜可以被认为是控制铜绿假单胞菌感染的关键策略,因此需要更多的研究。另一方面,乳酸杆菌属被描述为有益的,因为它们具有抗生物膜的特性,因此对广谱病原体具有相应的作用。事实上,形成生物膜的乳酸杆菌似乎比其浮游生物对应物更有效地拮抗致病菌。在这项工作中,我们证明了从蜜蜂肠道中分离出来的新型乳酸杆菌属的乳杆菌 kunkeei 可以在体外形成生物膜。此外,L. kunkeei 生物膜可以反过来抑制铜绿假单胞菌生物膜的形成。最后,我们发现 L. kunkeei 菌株通过影响铜绿假单胞菌生物膜的形成和/或其稳定性,减轻了在大蜡螟模型中的铜绿假单胞菌感染。由于 L. kunkeei 具有益生菌的特性,这项工作提供了证据,证明在动物(包括昆虫)和人类中使用这种乳酸杆菌属可能有助于削弱铜绿假单胞菌生物膜的形成。
