Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a common resistant bacterium, whose resistance has expanded to commonly used antibiotics. It is crucial to create novel treatments to tackle bacterial resistance. Trans-resveratrol and curcumin are naturally occurring phenolic compounds, whose effects on MRSA virulence are the subject of this investigation. Sub-MICs of trans-resveratrol and curcumin were tested on the virulence factors of 50 MRSA clinical isolates (CIs), including biofilm, hemolysin, hemagglutination, protease, and lecithinase. The distribution of the virulence factors of the CIs was as follows: hemolysin: 98%, hemagglutination: 70%, protease: 62%, biofilm: 56%, and lecithinase: 52%. The sub-MIC that could reduce the effect of the tested virulence factors by 50% or more (IC50) was observed in the strains that showed susceptibility to the individual administration of trans-resveratrol at 50 µg/mL and curcumin at 20 µg/mL. Hemagglutination and hemolysin activity were inhibited by at least 50% in the majority of CIs (57-94%). Meanwhile, the IC50 for protease and biofilm was observed in 6.5-17.8% of the CIs. A few of the CIs were susceptible to lecithinase inhibition, but all showed a full inhibition. This research supports the possibility of the use of these compounds to reduce the bacterial virulence that can reduce antibiotic utilization, and eventually, they can become a potential alternative treatment in combating bacterial resistance.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)是一种常见的耐药菌,其耐药性已扩展至常用抗生素。研发新的治疗方法以应对细菌耐药性至关重要。反式白藜芦醇和姜黄素是天然存在的酚类化合物,本研究旨在探讨它们对MRSA毒力的影响。对50株MRSA临床分离株(CIs)的毒力因子进行了反式白藜芦醇和姜黄素亚最小抑菌浓度(sub - MIC)测试,这些毒力因子包括生物膜、溶血素、血凝、蛋白酶和卵磷脂酶。CIs毒力因子的分布情况如下:溶血素:98%,血凝:70%,蛋白酶:62%,生物膜:56%,卵磷脂酶:52%。在对50 μg/mL反式白藜芦醇和20 μg/mL姜黄素单独给药敏感的菌株中,观察到能使受试毒力因子的作用降低50%或更多的亚最小抑菌浓度(IC50)。大多数CIs(57 - 94%)的血凝和溶血素活性受到至少50%的抑制。同时,在6.5 - 17.8%的CIs中观察到蛋白酶和生物膜的IC50。少数CIs对卵磷脂酶抑制敏感,但均表现出完全抑制。本研究支持使用这些化合物降低细菌毒力的可能性,这可减少抗生素的使用,最终它们可能成为对抗细菌耐药性的潜在替代治疗方法。
