Cellular and material-specific responses of Candida parapsilosis biofilms to biocides
Background
Candida parapsilosis biofilms pose significant challenges in clinical settings due to their resilience to biocides and the presence of persister cells. This study evaluated the efficacy of amphotericin B (AmB), chlorhexidine (CLX), and ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) against biofilms formed by fluconazole-resistant C. parapsilosis isolates and examined the role of persister cells and catheter materials in biofilm resilience.
Methods
Clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis from hospital surfaces were exposed to CLX (0.5%) and OPA (0.55%). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by broth microdilution. Biofilm susceptibility was assessed using the crystal violet assay and total plate counts. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysed biofilm structural changes on different catheter materials.
Findings
AmB demonstrated high efficacy with low MIC and MFC values. CLX showed moderate efficacy, with higher MICs and MFCs in clinical isolates compared with the standard strain. OPA exhibited the lowest efficacy, with higher MIC, MFC, and SMIC80 values. Persister cells were confirmed in isolate CBL 1031, while isolates 17D, 26E, and ATCC 90019 displayed significant SMIC80 reductions, indicating high susceptibility. PTFE materials showed significant biofilm reductions post-biocide exposure, while HDPE displayed the greatest biofilm resilience with higher residual cell counts. SEM revealed material-specific biofilm disruption, with greater structural damage on HDPE and silicone-coated latex (SCL) compared with PTFE.
Conclusions
These findings underscore the importance of optimizing cleaning protocols, selecting appropriate medical materials, and addressing persister cells to mitigate biofilm-related infections in healthcare settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hospital Infection is the editorially independent scientific publication of the Healthcare Infection Society. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality research and information relating to infection prevention and control that is relevant to an international audience.
The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. This includes submissions that:
provide new insight into the epidemiology, surveillance, or prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings;
provide new insight into cleaning, disinfection and decontamination;
provide new insight into the design of healthcare premises;
describe novel aspects of outbreaks of infection;
throw light on techniques for effective antimicrobial stewardship;
describe novel techniques (laboratory-based or point of care) for the detection of infection or antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting, particularly if these can be used to facilitate infection prevention and control;
improve understanding of the motivations of safe healthcare behaviour, or describe techniques for achieving behavioural and cultural change;
improve understanding of the use of IT systems in infection surveillance and prevention and control.
