Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are opportunistic bacteria frequently linked to burn wound infections. These bacteria can grow as biofilms, which increases their level of drug resistance to current antibiotics. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the effect of biofilm formation, phage and phage cocktail action on single species and dual species biofilms I, e the coexistence of Gram positive (S. aureus) and Gram negative (P. aeruginosa). To this scenario, we employed multi-drug resistant bacteria (P. aeruginosa and S. aureus at 109 CFU/µL) biofilm as single and in combination of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial biofilms of 24 h grown with respective phage (109 PFU/µL) and phage cocktail (109 PFU/µL) at 4 h of incubation under static conditions. The bacteriolytic activity of phages vB_SAnS_SADP1 and vB_PAnP_PADP4 on 24-h-old biofilms of P. aeruginosa (0.761 ± 0.031) and S. aureus (0.856 ± 0.055), both alone and in combination (0.67 ± 0.02), was the focus of this investigation. The structural organization of biofilms in single- or dual-species combinations under in vitro conditions was validated by scanning and confocal laser scanning microscopy investigations. After 24 h of incubation, single-species biofilms are denser and more resilient whereas dual species biofilms are more loosely associated. Loose association of dual-species biofilm under scanning electron microscopic images at the same conditions, indicated the interspecies -competition of the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and dual-species biofilms (0.67 ± 0.02) have weak associations and are readily impacted by phage and a phage cocktail (0.16 ± 0.02). Dual-species biofilms were more readily impacted in in vitro settings. |
