PDT har vært en godt studert terapi for behandling av kreft siden den ble oppfunnet mer enn 100 år siden18. Det siste tiåret, PDT er brukt som en antimikrobiell strategi og har vist effektivitet mot noen antibiotika-resistente patogene bakterier12. Sammenlignet med planktoniske staten, synes bakteriell biofilm å være mer motstandsdyktige mot antibiotika behandling3, mens effekten av ALA-PDT på biofilm ikke har blitt fullstendig undersøkt ennå...

S. aureus er en viktig Gram-positive patogen som colonizes hud og mucosa i menneskelige verter. Dens evne til skjemaet biofilm regnes som en viktig del av dens patogenesen1. Bakteriell biofilm er et fellesskap av bakterier i en egenproduserte matrise som består av ekstracellulære polymere stoffer, inkludert polysakkarid, DNA og proteiner. Denne matrisen spiller en betydelig rolle i for bakterieinfeksjoner, bidrar til en høy grad av motstand mot menneskets immunsystem og gjeldende anti-mikrobielle terapier2. Antibiotika er fortsatt store behandling for biofilm infeksjoner, selv om effekten av antibiotika på biofilm er begrenset. Det har vist tidligere at celler i biofilm er 10 - 1000 ganger mer resistente mot antibiotika sammenlignet med deres planktoniske kolleger3. Dermed for alternative strategier å overvinne problemet.
PDT, et alternativ behandling for bakterieinfeksjoner, bruker lys av en passende bølgelengde for å aktivere photosensitizers. Dette fører til produksjon av reaktive oksygen arter (ROS), som er dødelige til målcellene forstyrre cellen vegg, inaktivere enzymer og skade DNA4. Denne flere mottakere karakteristiske gjør det vanskelig for bacteria å utvikle resistens til PDT behandling.
Antimikrobielle effekten av PDT på bakterier og sopp biofilm, med flere photosensitizers, for eksempel toluidine blå, malakitt grønn, methylene blåfarge, klor e6 og porphyrins, har vært studert i tidligere rapporter5,6, 7,8,9,10,11,12,13. 5-ALA, en prodrug av den faktiske photosensitizer, PpIX, er preget av små molekylvekt og rask klaring12,14. Disse fordelene gir ALA-PDT stort potensial som et terapeutisk program. Selv om effekten av ALA-PDT på planktoniske bakterier har blitt studert av mange grupper12, har antimikrobielle effekten av ALA-PDT på bakteriell biofilm ennå ikke utredet. Samtidig er det vanskelig å sammenligne resultater mellom tidligere studier. En av grunnene er at de ulike protokollene brukes av ulike grupper. Derfor beskriver denne protokollen en i vitro modell av en ALA-PDT system basert på våre tidligere arbeid15. Effekten av denne modellen ble bekreftet av CFU beregning og levedyktighet farging med CLSM.

an in vitro model to study the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy on staphylococcus aureus biofilm

Gule stafylokokker (S. aureus) er en vanlig human patogen, som forårsaker pyogenic og systemisk infeksjoner. S. aureus infeksjoner er vanskelig å utrydde skyldes fremveksten av antibiotika-resistente bakteriestammer, men også dens evne til skjemaet biofilm. Nylig er Fotodynamisk terapi (PDT) angitt som en av de mulige behandlingene for å kontrollere biofilm infeksjoner. Men videre trengs studier for å forbedre vår kunnskap om sin effekt på bakteriell biofilm, i tillegg til de underliggende mekanismene. Dette manuskriptet beskriver en i vitro modell av PDT med 5-aminolevulinic syre (5-ALA), en forløper til den faktiske photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Eldre kort, S. aureus biofilm ble inkubert med ALA og deretter eksponert for lys. Deretter var antibakterielle effekten av ALA-PDT på S. aureus biofilm kvantifisert ved å beregne kolonien danner enheter (CFUs) og visualisert ved levedyktighet fluorescerende flekker via AC confocal laserskanning mikroskopi (CLSM). Representativt resultater viste en sterk antibakteriell effekt av ALA-PDT på S. aureus biofilm. Denne protokollen er enkel og kan brukes til å utvikle en i vitro modell for å studere behandling av S. aureus biofilm med ALA-PDT. I fremtiden kan det også bli referert i PDT studier utnytte andre photosensitizers for forskjellige bakteriell stammer med minimal justeringer.

Levedyktigheten til bakterier i biofilm ble redusert etter ALA-PDT behandling sammenlignet med kontrollene (ALA - LED-, ALA + LED- og ALA-ledet +) i både USA300 og de tre kliniske stammene (figur 1).
For å bekrefte resultatene fra CFU analysen og observere antibakterielt effekt av ALA-PDT på den S. aureus biofilm i situUSA300 biofilm var visualisert ved CLSM med levedyktighet fl...
