Antimicrobial, anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm potential of biosurfactants isolated from Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus plantarum against Staphylococcus aureus CMCC26003.

Biosurfactants (BS) are amphipathic compounds produced by diverse groups of microorganisms exhibiting various biological activities. The current study aimed to assess antimicrobial, anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm activities of BS isolated from lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus plantarum against Staphylococcus aureus CMCC 26003 in vitro. Cell-bound BS from both Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus plantarum were extracted, and their surface activities were evaluated by oil spreading assay. As quantified by crystal violet method, BS inhibited adhesion and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus in a dose-dependent manner. The above findings were further supported by results of scanning electron microscopy. These two kinds of BS affect expressions of biofilm-related genes (cidA, icaA, dltB, agrA, sortaseA and sarA) and interfere with the release of signaling molecules (AI-2) in quorum sensing systems. Biological activities observed for BS produced by tested LAB suggest prospects for their use against Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-related infections.

Antioxidant and antiproliferative potential of biosurfactants isolated from Lactobacillus casei and their anti-biofilm effect in oral Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Biosurfactants also called bioemulsifiers are amphipathic compounds produced by many microorganisms that allow them to exhibit a wide range of biological activities. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant and antiproliferative potential of biosurfactants isolated from Lactobacillus casei and to assess their anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm abilities against oral opportunistic Staphylococcus aureus strains. The antioxidant activity of biosurfactant was evaluated using the in vitro scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The antiproliferative activity was determined on epithelial cell line (HEp-2) by the Methylthiazole tetrazolium (MTT) reduction assay. The anti-adhesive and antibiofilm activity against S. aureus strains were achieved using crystal violet staining. Our results revealed that the DPPH scavenging activity of biosurfactants at 5.0 mg/mL concentration is between 74.6 and 77.3%. Furthermore, biosurfactants showed antiproliferative potency against studied epithelial cells as judged by IC50 and its value ranged from 109.1 ± 0.84 mg/mL to 129.7 ± 0.52 mg/mL. The results of the growth inhibition indicate that biosurfactant BS-LBl was more effective against oral S. aureus strains 9P and 29P with an IC50 of 1.92 ± 0.26 mg/mL and 2.16 ± 0.12 mg/mL respectively. Moreover, both biosurfactants displayed important antibiofilm activity with eradication percentages ranging from 80.22 ± 1.33% to 86.21 ± 2.94% for the BS-LBl, and from 53.38 ± 1.77% to 64.42 ± 2.09% for the BS-LZ9. Our findings demonstrate that biosurfactants from L. casei strains exhibited considerable antioxidant and antiproliferative potencies and were able to inhibit oral S. aureus strains with important antibiofilm efficacy. They could have a promising role in the prevention of oral diseases.
