Golberg, Karina Elouarzaki, Kamal Kagan, Bat-El Shagan, Marilou Shemesh, Netta Kramarsky-Winter, Esti Ben-Zvi, Anat Nebenzahl, Yaffa Mizrachi Marks, Robert S Kushmaro, Ariel Biofilms Indoles Virulence Anti-Bacterial Agents Caenorhabditis elegans Pseudomonas aeruginosa Animals Acinetobacter baumannii Humans Gram-Negative Bacteria Biofilms cling to surfaces to form complex architectures allowing their bacterial creators to acquire multidrug resistance and claiming countless lives worldwide. Therefore, finding novel compounds that affect virulence and biofilm-forming capacity of resistant pathogenic bacteria is imperative. Recently, we identified indole-based compounds that possess anti-biofilm properties in coral-associated bacteria. We succeeded in efficiently synthesizing two of these compounds, 1,1'-bisindole (NN) and 2,3-dihydro-2,2'-bisindole (DIV). They were found to attenuate biofilms of gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Combining these compounds with the antibiotic tobramycin resulted in significant biofilm inhibition, particularly in the eradication of mature P. aeruginosa biofilms. Both of the bisindole derivatives, suppressed a number of bacterial virulence factors, reduced bacterial adhesion, and improved survival rates in infected Caenorhabditis elegans and human lung epithelial cell models. Transcriptome analyses of the bacteria treated with these compounds revealed that NN repressed or upregulated 307 genes when compared to untreated P. aeruginosa. These bacteria-derived molecules act in resistance-quenching and are potentially important candidates for inclusion in treatment protocols. The use of compounds that prevent the biofilm from accumulating the high cell densities critical to its structural and functional maintenance represents significant progress in the management of bacterial persistence. Therefore, a possible clinical implementation of these innovative compounds holds a promising future. |
