For those interested in using antibiofilm surfaces in the built environment, it is important that efficacy testing methods are relevant, reproducible and standardised where possible, to ensure data outputs are applicable to end-use, and comparable across the literature. Using pre-defined keywords, a review of literature reporting on antimicrobial surfaces (78 articles), within which a potential application was described as non-submerged/non-medical surface or coating with antibiofilm action, was undertaken. The most used methods utilized the growth of biofilm in submerged and static systems. Quantification varied (from most to least commonly used) across colony forming unit counts, non-microscopy fluorescence or spectroscopy, microscopy analysis, direct agar-contact, sequencing, and ELISA. Selection of growth media, microbial species, and incubation temperature also varied. In many cases, definitions of biofilm and attempts to quantify antibiofilm activity were absent or vague. Assessing a surface after biofilm recovery or assessing potential regrowth of a biofilm after initial analysis was almost entirely absent.

Fluoropyrimidines possess antivirulence and antibiofilm activity against Gram-negative bacteria; however, their mechanism of action is yet unknown. Consistent with their known antibiofilm activity, fluoropyrimidines, particularly 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), impair curli-dependent surface adhesion by <em>Escherichia coli</em> MG1655 via downregulation of curli fimbriae gene transcription. Curli inhibition requires fluoropyrimidine conversion into fluoronucleotides and is not mediated by <em>c</em>-di-GMP or the <em>ymg-rcs</em> envelope stress response axis, previously suggested as the target of fluorouracil antibiofilm activity in <em>E. coli</em>. In contrast, 5-FC hampered the transcription of curli activators RpoS and stimulated the expression of Fis, a curli repressor affected by nucleotide availability. This last observation suggested a possible perturbation of the <em>de novo</em> pyrimidine biosynthesis by 5-FC: indeed, exposure to 5-FC resulted in a ca. 2-fold reduction of UMP intracellular levels while not affecting ATP. Consistently, expression of the <em>de novo</em> pyrimidine biosynthesis genes <em>carB</em> and <em>pyrB</em> was upregulated in the presence of 5-FC. Our results suggest that the antibiofilm activity of fluoropyrimidines is mediated, at least in part, by perturbation of the pyrimidine nucleotide pool. We screened a genome library in search of additional determinants able to counteract the effects of 5-FC. We found that a DNA fragment encoding the unknown protein D8B36_18,480 and the <em>N</em>-terminal domain of the penicillin-binding protein 1b (PBP1b), involved in peptidoglycan synthesis, could restore curli production in the presence of 5-FC. Deletion of the PBP1b-encoding gene <em>mrcB</em>, induced <em>csgBAC</em> transcription, while overexpression of the gene encoding the D8B36_18,480 protein obliterated its expression, possibly as part of a coordinated response in curli regulation with PBP1b. While the two proteins do not appear to be direct targets of 5-FC, their involvement in curli regulation suggests a connection between peptidoglycan biosynthesis and curli production, which might become even more relevant upon pyrimidine starvation and reduced availability of UDP-sugars needed in cell wall biosynthesis. Overall, our findings link the antibiofilm activity of fluoropyrimidines to the redirection of at least two global regulators (RpoS, Fis) by induction of pyrimidine starvation. This highlights the importance of the <em>de novo</em> pyrimidines biosynthesis pathway in controlling virulence mechanisms in different bacteria and makes the pathway a potential target for antivirulence strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55844,"journal":{"name":"Biofilm","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100180"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590207524000054/pdfft?md5=ee9bdd5d81f3bebbc6dd28d57a6ac40e&pid=1-s2.0-S2590207524000054-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139719658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, bacterial biofilms are protected against environmental stresses thanks to their extracellular matrix, which could contribute to persistent infections after treatment with antibiotics. Bacterial biofilms are also capable of strongly attaching to surfaces, where their metabolic by-products could lead to surface material degradation. Furthermore, microgravity can alter biofilm behavior in unexpected ways, making the presence of biofilms in space a risk for both astronauts and spaceflight hardware. Despite the efforts to eliminate microorganism contamination from spacecraft surfaces, it is impossible to prevent human-associated bacteria from eventually establishing biofilm surface colonization. Nevertheless, by understanding the changes that bacterial biofilms undergo in microgravity, it is possible to identify key differences and pathways that could be targeted to significantly reduce biofilm formation. The bacterial component of Space Biofilms project, performed on the International Space Station in early 2020, contributes to such understanding by characterizing the morphology and gene expression of bacterial biofilms formed in microgravity with respect to ground controls. <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> was used as model organism due to its relevance in biofilm studies and its ability to cause urinary tract infections as an opportunistic pathogen. Biofilm formation was characterized at one, two, and three days of incubation (37 °C) over six different materials. Materials reported in this manuscript include catheter grade silicone, selected due to its medical relevance in hospital acquired infections, catheter grade silicone with ultrashort pulsed direct laser interference patterning, included to test microtopographies as a potential biofilm control strategy, and cellulose membrane to replicate the column and canopy structure previously reported from a microgravity study.

However, considering the resistance of biofilm-resident bacteria to antibiotic-mediated killing, the use of antibiotics may be insufficient and require being replaced or complemented with novel strategies. Moreover, unlike the standard minimal inhibitory concentration assay used to assess antibacterial activity against planktonic cells, standardization of methods to evaluate anti-biofilm drug activity is limited. In this work, we detail a panel of protocols for systematic analysis of drug antimicrobial effect on bacterial biofilms, customized to evaluate drug effects against <em>H. influenzae</em> biofilms. Testing of two cinnamaldehyde analogs, (<em>E</em>)-trans-2-nonenal and (<em>E</em>)-3-decen-2-one, demonstrated their effectiveness in both <em>H. influenzae</em> inhibition of biofilm formation and eradication or preformed biofilms. Assay complementarity allowed quantifying the dynamics and extent of the inhibitory effects, also observed for ampicillin resistant clinical strains forming biofilms refractory to this antibiotic. Moreover, cinnamaldehyde analog encapsulation into poly(lactic-<em>co</em>-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymeric nanoparticles allowed drug vehiculization while maintaining efficacy. Overall, we demonstrate the usefulness of cinnamaldehyde analogs against <em>H. influenzae</em> biofilms, present a test panel that can be easily adapted to a wide range of pathogens and drugs, and highlight the benefits of drug nanoencapsulation towards safe controlled release.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55844,"journal":{"name":"Biofilm","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100178"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590207524000030/pdfft?md5=17c58e04e417eb43a680ed6a84da5a57&pid=1-s2.0-S2590207524000030-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139539477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the effect of selected environmental microbiota on biofilm formation and tolerance of <em>L. monocytogenes</em> to benzalkonium chloride in formed biofilms. The studied microbiota included bacterial families previously shown to co-occur with <em>L. monocytogenes</em> in tree fruit packing facilities, including <em>Pseudomonadaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Microbacteriaceae</em>, and <em>Flavobacteriaceae.</em> Biofilm formation ability and the effect of formed biofilms on the tolerance of <em>L. monocytogenes</em> to benzalkonium chloride was measured in single- and multi-family assemblages. Biofilms were grown statically on polystyrene pegs submerged in a R2A broth. Biofilm formation was quantified using a crystal violet assay, spread-plating, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and its composition was assessed using amplicon sequencing. The concentration of <em>L. monocytogenes</em> in biofilms was determined using the most probable number method. Biofilms were exposed to the sanitizer benzalkonium chloride, and the death kinetics of <em>L. monocytogenes</em> were quantified using a most probable number method. A total of 8, 8, 6, and 3 strains of <em>Pseudomonadaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Microbacteriaceae</em>, and <em>Flavobacteriaceae</em>, respectively, were isolated from the environmental microbiota of tree fruit packing facilities and were used in this study. Biofilms formed by <em>Pseudomonadaceae, Xanthomonadaceae</em>, and all multi-family assemblages had significantly higher concentration of bacteria, as well as <em>L. monocytogenes,</em> compared to biofilms formed by <em>L. monocytogenes</em> alone.
