1、1Vol.:(0123456789)Scientific Reports|(2021)11:7134|https:/doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-86647- properties of Chinese Herbal Formula SanHuang decoction on biofilm formation by antibioticresistant Staphylococcal strainsShaoe Zhang,Peizhao Wang,Xiaotao Shi&Honglue Tan*The aim of this study was to explore

2、the effect of Chinese herbal SanHuang decoction(SH)on biofilm formation of antibioticresistant Staphylococci on titanium surface,and to explore its mechanism.Biofilmforming ATCC 35984,ATCC 43300 and MRSE 287 were used in this study.The MICs of SH and vancomycin against Staphylococci were determined

3、by the broth microdilution method.Six groups were designed,namely control group(bacteria cultured with medium),1/8MIC SH group(1MIC SH was diluted by 1/8 using TSB or saline),1/4MIC SH group,1/2MIC SH group,1MIC SH group and vancomycin group(bacteria cultured with 1MIC vancomycin).The inhibitory eff

4、ect on bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation were observed by the spread plate method,CV staining,SEM,and CLSM.Realtime PCR was performed to determine the effect of SH on the expression levels of ica AD and ica R gene in ATCC 35984 during the biofilm formation.The strains were found to be suscept

5、ible to SH and vancomycin with MIC of 38.75 mg/ml and 2.5 g/ml,respectively.SH with 1 MIC and 1/2 MIC could inhibit the bacteria adhesion,showing only scattered adhesion from SEM.CLSM showed that SH with 1 MIC and 1/2 MIC inhibited the biofilm formation.The quantitative results of the spread plate m

6、ethod and CV staining showed that there was significant differences between the SH groups(P 0.05).Further,with an increase in SH concentration,the inhibitory effect became more obvious when compared with control group.Among the groups,vancomycin had the strongest inhibitory effect on bacterial adhes

7、ion and biofilm formation(P 0.01).With an increase in SH concentration,the expression levels of ica AD decreased,and the expression of ica R increased correspondingly(P 0.05).In conclusions,SH can inhibit the biofilm formation of antibioticresistant Staphylococci.Its probable mechanistic activity ma

9、re,loss of limb function and even amputa-tion,which will inevitably impose an economic burden to the patients families and social medical insurance1.According to the literature,the incidence of postoperative infections for closed fracture is about 12%,but the incidence of an open fracture is signifi

10、cantly as high as 30%1,2.Studies have shown that 80%of clinical infec-tions are related to bacterial biofilm formation,which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of orthopedic infections3.Firstly,bacteria in a biofilm are very resistant to antibiotics,and their antibiotic tolerance is 1000-fo

11、ld higher than the MIC(minimum inhibitory concentration)of the planktonic form3,4.Secondly,the biofilm and its colonized pathogens can successfully defend the hosts immune system,so that they cannot be phagocytized and cleared by polymorphonuclear leukocytes5.Titaniumand its alloys have superb bioco

12、mpatibility,low elastic modulus,and favorable corrosion resistance.These exceptional properties lead to its wide use as a medical implant material for orthopedic surgery6.Titanium itself does not have antibacterial properties,so bacteria can gather and adhere to its surface resulting in biofilm6.OPE

16、SE(meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis)and MRSA(methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus),makes the treatment of implant-associated infections with antibiot-ics still one of the challenges for orthopedic surgeons2,4,7.Hence,discovering alternative treatment methods for orthopedic infe

17、ctions linked to multi-antibiotic-resistant bacterial biofilm is becoming more and more relevant.For a long time,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been widely used in the treatment of various infec-tious diseases in China,and many traditional or empirical prescriptions have been proved to have sa

18、tisfactory clinical therapeutic effects912.The SanHuang decoction(abbreviated as SH)is one of the treatment methods widely used in our hospital for treatment of limb infections with bone and implant exposure.This decoction is composed of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi,Coptidis rhizoma,Cortex Phellod

19、endri chinsis and other Chinese herbs.According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,it has the heat-clearing and detoxing functions.Through external soaking and washing of the locally infected wound with SH,it was found that this decoction can effectively control the infections1012.However

20、,there has been no study to date that has explored the antibi-ofilm formation properties of the SH invitro.Therefore,based on previously published clinical studies and the widely used titanium implant material for orthopedic surgery6,1012,the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SH dec

22、ellodendri chinsis(25g),Sophora flavescens(20g),Lonicera Japonica(20g),Forsythia suspensa(20g)and Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.-Mazz.(20g)(Table1).All the herbs were provided by the TCM pharmacy of Henan Luoyang Orthopedic-Traumatological Hospital following the requirement standards of the section one

23、of PharmacopoeiaofthePeoplesRepublicofChina(2015 edition).The procedure of prepar-ing the SH aqueous extract is as follows:firstly,all herbs were tipped into a ceramic pot with 1000ml pure water and soaked for 30min.Secondly,the concoction was boiled at high heat for 30min,and was maintained at a lo

24、w flame until the aqueous extract reduced to 250ml.Finally,aqueous extract was filtered with filter paper,and water extraction of the liquid was performed through 22m filter.Based on the original herb dose,the initial liquid concentration of the extract solution was about 0.62g/ml,which was stored i

25、n the refrigerator at 20C for the subsequent experiments.Only one batch of SH were used in this study.Preparation of bacterial strains.Two standard strains,the positive biofilm-forming S.epidermidis ATCC 35984(American Type Culture Collection ATCC,MRSE)and S.aureus ATCC 43300(MRSA),and one clinical

26、isolate,methicillin-resistant S.epidermidis(MRSE 287)which was isolated from one patient with an orthopaedic implant-related infection,were used in this study13,14.The strains frozen in a 80C refrigerator were rapidly thawed and inoculated on a Tryptone Soy Agar(TSA)plate and cultured in an incubato

27、r at 37C for 24h.A single colony was selected from the TSA and inoculated in a 50ml centrifuge tube containing 10ml TryptoneSoyBroth(TSB),the tube was incubated for 10h at 37C with agitation at 100rpm.Then,25l of bacterial suspension was transferred to another sterile centrifuge tube containing 10ml

28、 TSB and incubated at 37C for 14h,after which 1ml suspension was transferred into a 1.5ml centrifuge tube and the bacteria in the suspension was harvested by centrifugation for 5min at 4C and 1000rpm(Sorvall TC6 centrifuge,Du Pont,Bad Nauheim,Germany).The precipitate was then washed three times with

29、 0.15M PBS(phosphate buffered saline)to remove the remaining TSB,and resuspended in sterile PBS to an optical density of 0.490 at 600nm using Synergy HT multi-detection microplate spectrophotometer(Bio-tek,Winooski,VT),which corresponded to 109 CFUs(Colony forming units)/ml.Table 1.The composition o
