Antibiotic resistance of has considerably increased among non-clinical or asymptomatic individuals. The formation of biofilms denies antimicrobial access to its targets present on the surface and inside the cell. The present study tested the effect of the combination of flavonoids and antibiotics over the preformed biofilms of . The eradication of the preformed biofilms was analyzed using the crystal violet method. It has shown that 2500 µg mL Rutin and 100 µg mL Erythromycin (MIC Concentration) combination efficiently reduced the growth of the cells, which were adhered to the surfaces forming the biofilms. Fluorescence microscopic analysis indicated that the Rutin and Erythromycin (MIC value) combinations could eradicate the preformed biofilm cells more efficiently than other combinations. We found that the flavonoids and antibiotics with MIC concentration show a significant effect over the preformed biofilms cells of . In addition, the semi-quantitative real-time PCR analysis for the sRNAs under the treatment of Rutin and Erythromycin combinations showed that few small RNAs expression (SprF, SprG, ArtR, Teg49, Teg41, and RNAIII) are getting downregulated upon the treatment; but again recovers with the incubation time interval increases. Combinations have a significant effect on Teg49 where there is a very faint intensity of the band, but for other small RNAs, there is an irregular pattern on the gel image. It has been concluded that at the initial period of incubation, the combinations have an effect on all the sRNAs but once the incubation increases, the effects have been slowly decreasing. It has been concluded that the combination has been able to reduce the doubling time of upon treatment. Whereas, the small RNAs used in the study can be further evaluated for expression profiling through qRT-PCT.
非临床或无症状个体中的抗生素耐药性显著增加。生物膜的形成使抗菌剂无法接触到细胞表面和内部的靶点。本研究测试了黄酮类化合物与抗生素联合使用对预先形成的[具体生物名称未给出]生物膜的影响。使用结晶紫法分析预先形成的生物膜的根除情况。结果表明,2500 μg/mL芦丁和100 μg/mL红霉素(MIC浓度)联合使用能有效降低附着在形成生物膜表面的细胞的生长。荧光显微镜分析表明,芦丁和红霉素(MIC值)联合使用比其他联合使用能更有效地根除预先形成的生物膜细胞。我们发现,MIC浓度的黄酮类化合物和抗生素对预先形成的[具体生物名称未给出]生物膜细胞有显著影响。此外,对芦丁和红霉素联合处理下的小RNA进行半定量实时PCR分析表明,处理后少数小RNA(SprF、SprG、ArtR、Teg49、Teg41和RNAIII)的表达下调,但随着孵育时间间隔增加又恢复。联合使用对Teg49有显著影响,其条带强度非常微弱,但对于其他小RNA,凝胶图像上呈现不规则模式。得出的结论是,在孵育初期,联合使用对所有小RNA都有影响,但随着孵育时间增加,影响逐渐减弱。得出的结论是,联合使用能够在处理后缩短[具体生物名称未给出]的倍增时间。而本研究中使用的小RNA可通过qRT - PCT进一步评估其表达谱。
