The aims of this study were: (1) To investigate the activity of recombinant AMPs HNP-1 and hBD-1 in combination with cefotaxime against Staphylococcus aureus clinical strains (MSSA and MRSA) in vitro using checkerboard method; (2) To investigate the activity of HNP-1 and hBD-1 encapsulated in silicon nanoparticles (niosomes) in the treatment of MRSA-infected wound in rats. For this S. aureus clinical strains (MSSA and MRSA) were isolated from patients with diabetic foot infection. Cefotaxime, recombinant HNP-1 and hBD-1 (in all possible combinations with each other) were used for testing by the checkerboard method. Two niosomal topical gels with HNP-1/hBD-1 were prepared to treat MRSA-infected wounds in rats. Gels were administered once a day, the control group – without treatment. Wound healing rate was calculated on the 4th, 9th and 16th days of the experiment and compared using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. MIC of HNP-1 for MSSA and MRSA was the same – 1 mg/L. MIC of hBD-1 for MSSA and MRSA was also the same – 0.5 mg/L. Topical gels with niosomal HNP-1 (or hBD-1) showed a significantly faster wound healing in comparison with the control. The data obtained open up prospects for use of AMPs encapsulated in silica nanoparticles for the development of new antibiotics. |
