Baicalein of Scutellaria baicalensis inhibits Mycobacterium abscessus biofilm formation to restore the antibiotics susceptibility.
Mycobacterium abscessus is resistant to traditional anti-TB medications and most currently available antibiotics, its strong biofilm formation may contribute to the resistance and make the situation even worse. In this study, Scutellaria baicalensis extract significantly inhibited the planktonic growth as well as the biofilm formation of M. abscessus. Baicalein, the principal active element in S. baicalensis extract, inhibited the biofilm formation instead of the planktonic growth and reduced extracellular matrix lipids in M. abscessus biofilm. The synergistic effects of baicalein in combination with clinical drugs were investigated, the baicalein effectively restored the susceptibility of M. abscessus to the investigated drugs in the biofilm growth. The transcriptome analysis revealed that 98 genes were upregulated and 19 genes were downregulated after baicalein treatment, genes involved in the fatty acid synthesis pathway were validated by RT-qPCR. Therefore, the extract of S. baicalensis and its monomer baicalein might serve as potential innovative adjuvant agents for the prevention and treatment of M. abscessus biofilm formation in chronic infections.
期刊介绍:
Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion.
Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context.
Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.
