摘要

Introduction: Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are rising exponentially around the globe; especially in intensive care units. The formation of biofilm on the surface of an indwelling urinary catheter (UC) marks the onset of CAUTI. Treatment of CAUTI/eradication of biofilm poses an intricate challenge to clinicians and researchers since bacteria within biofilm have increased protection against host immune response and resistance to antimicrobials. Biofilm-associated bacteria on the surface of UC produce quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules which regulate the expression of genes required for biofilm formation. Attenuation of QS, which in turn regulates biofilm production, seems to be a novel approach to curb CAUTI. The present study was thus designed with a preventive strategy to generate a biomaterial by impregnating a silicone UC with combination of azithromycin (AZM) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) and testing its efficacy in-vitro against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: Medical grade silicone tubing (0.30mm × 0.64mm) was impregnated with antimicrobials: 3% CIP and 6% AZM. In-vitro efficacy was assessed for control and AZM-CIP impregnated UC against P. aeruginosa standard strain PAO1 using serial plate transfer test (SPTT), in-vitro biofilm colonization, durability test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to visualise biofilm and shelf-life test. Results and Discussion: SPTT of AZM-CIP impregnated UC revealed prominent zones of inhibition (> 30mm) against P. aenjginosa PAO1 during testing period of one month and no bacterial growth was observed around or under the UC. These results indicate prolonged antimicrobial activity of these catheters with sustained diffusion of drugs and absence of resistance development since no bacteria was found attached to catheters following continuous exposure to heavy inoculum of P. aenjginosa. AZM-CIP impregnated UC showed complete inhibition of bacterial colonization and biofilm formation after 24h exposure to P. aenjginosa PAO1. These findings suggest anti-adherence activity of catheters. AZM-CIP impregnated UC were tested for durability by dipping in sterile human urine for 4 weeks simulating biological conditions. The results showed significant decline in biofilm formation over 4 weeks suggesting longer durability. These findings were further confirmed by SEM which showed limited bacterial cells within disrupted biofilm on the surface of antimicrobial impregnated UC as compared with fully grown intact biofilm on the surface of control catheters. Additionally, AZM-CIP impregnated UC showed complete inhibition of biofilm formation at quarterly intervals displaying stable real-time shelf life for one year. Conclusion: AZM-CIP impregnated UC demonstrated prolonged duration of antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity. The present study bring out the fact that synergistic combination of currently available antibiotics AZM and CIP may be usefully applied to generate a biomaterial by impregnating these drugs into a UC to prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm formation. Such a catheter would be beneficial in clinical situations, especially in long-term foreign body associated urinary tract infections.
