Title: Combinatorial Therapeutic Strategy of Biogenics Derived from Lactobacillus fermentum PUM and Zingerone Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-Induced Surgical Site Infection: an Experimental Study. Author: Chandla S, Harjai K, Shukla G. Journal: Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins; 2022 Aug; 14(4):712-726. PubMed ID: 35482245. Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a WHO-prioritized multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, is one of the frequently implicated pathogen in surgical site infection (SSI) due to its virulence phenotypes and biofilm-forming ability. In the present study, cell-free supernatant (CFS) and biogenics (organic acids and precipitated protein fraction) of indigenous potential probiotic, Lactobacillus fermentum PUM both alone and in combination with zingerone were found to inhibit pyocyanin, pyochelin, protease, elastase, the virulence factors, and motility of P. aeruginosa PAO1. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy indicated that biofilm formation was attenuated maximally by CFS of L. fermentum combined with zingerone. In vivo study revealed reduced P. aeruginosa burden, suppuration at surgical site vis-a-vis reduced levels of oxidants, pro-inflammatory cytokines, ameliorated anti-oxidants, and healed infected surgical site compared with counter controls. In totality, combination of L. fermentum PUM-derived biogenics and zingerone could be employed to treat P. aeruginosa-induced SSI that needs to be correlated clinically.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
