Abstract:
The high incidence of persistent multidrug resistant bacterial infections is a worldwide public health burden. Alternative strategies are required to deal with such issue including the use of drugs with anti-virulence activity. The application of nanotechnology to develop advanced Nano-materials that target quorum sensing regulated virulence factors is an attractive approach. Synthesis of ascorbic acid Nano-emulsion (ASC-NEs) and assessment of its activity in vitro against the virulence factors and its protective ability against pathogenesis as well as the effect against expression of quorum sensing genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Ascorbic acid Nano-emulsion was characterized by DLS Zetasizer Technique, Zeta potential; Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The antibacterial activity of ASC-NEs was tested by the broth microdilution method and the activity of their sub-MIC against the expression of quorum sensing controlled virulence was investigated using phenotypic experiments and RT-PCR. The protective activity of ASC-NEs against P. aeruginosa as well as S. aureus pathogenesis was tested in vivo. Phenotypically, ASC-NEs had strong virulence inhibitory activity against the tested bacteria. The RT-PCR experiment showed that it exhibited significant QS inhibitory activity. The in vivo results showed that ASC-NEs protected against staphylococcal infection, however, it failed to protect mice against Pseudomonal infection. These results suggest the promising use of nanoformulations against virulence factors in multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. However, further studies are required concerning the potential toxicity, clearance and phamacokinetics of the nanoformulations.
