- W4316663003 abstract "Drug-resistant bacteria have been raising serious social problems. Bacterial biofilms and different virulence factors are the main reasons for persistent infections. As a conditioned pathogen, Chromobacterium violaceum has evolved a vast network of regulatory mechanisms to modify and fine-tune biofilm development, contributing to multidrug resistance. However, there are few therapies to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors (QSIs) are a promising strategy to solve antibiotic resistance. Our previous work suggested that 2-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (TBQ) is a potent QSI. In this study, the combination of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and TBQ (ZnO-TBQ) was investigated for the treatment of Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 infection. ZnO-NPs attach to cell walls or biofilms, and the local dissolution of ZnO-NPs can lead to increased Zn2+ concentrations, which could destroy metal homeostasis, corresponding to disturbances in amino acid metabolism and nucleic acid metabolism. ZnO-NPs significantly improved the efficiency of TBQ in inhibiting the QS-related virulence factors and biofilm formation of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. ZnO-TBQ effectively reduces the expression of genes related to QS, which is conducive to limiting the infectivity of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes treated with ZnO-TBQ presented a significant improvement in the survival rate by 46.7%. Overall, the combination of ZnO-NPs and TBQ offers a new strategy to attenuate virulence factors and biofilm formation synergistically in some drug-resistant bacteria. IMPORTANCE The combination of ZnO-NPs and TBQ (ZnO-TBQ) can compete with the inducer N-decanoyl-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL) by binding to CviR and downregulate genes related to the CviI/CviR system to interrupt the QS system of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. The downstream genes responding to cviR were also downregulated so that virulence factors and biofilm formation were inhibited. Furthermore, ZnO-TBQ presents multiple metabolic disturbances in C. violaceum ATCC 12472, which results in the reduced multidrug resistance and pathogenicity of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. In an in vivo assay, C. elegans nematodes treated with ZnO-TBQ presented a significant improvement in the survival rate by 46.7% by limiting the infectivity of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. In addition, ZnO-TBQ inhibited the generation of virulence factors and biofilm formation 2-fold compared to either ZnO-NPs or TBQ alone. The combination of ZnO-NPs with TBQ offers a potent synergistic strategy to reduce multidrug resistance and pathogenicity." @default.
