Resumo
O efeito de amoxicilina e ciprofloxacino, agentes antimicrobianos com diferentes mecanismos de ação, sobre alguns fatores relacionados à sua virulência em Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 foi comparado. Efeito pós-antimicrobiano, atividade hemolítica para hemácias de carneiro, atividade de citolisinas extracelulares para células McCoy, susceptibilidade à fagocitose dependente e não dependente de opsonização, por neutrófilos de Rattus albinus norvegicus, foram avaliados em bactérias crescidas na presença de concentração subinibitória (½ CIM) do antimicrobiano e a capacidade de induzir estresse oxidativo foi determinada diretamente sobre as células bacterianas através da detecção da produção de ânion superóxido. Amoxicilina e ciprofloxacino demonstraram efeito sobre o crescimento de S. aureus estatisticamente significativo em relação ao controle, sendo maior para amoxicilina. A atividade hemolítica foi diminuída na presença de amoxicilina e ambos antimicrobianos induziram aumento na atividade de citolisinas extracelulares. A técnica de quimiluminescência dependente de luminol, utilizada para avaliar susceptibilidade à fagocitose através do burst oxidativo de polimorfonucleares neutrófilos, demonstrou que amoxicilina influenciou positivamente a fagocitose dependente de opsoninas e ciprofloxacino estimulou a fagocitose não opsonizada. Visto o burst oxidativo ser um método indireto para a demonstração de fagocitose, a confirmação de células bacterianas fagocitadas/aderidas foi realizada através da observação de esfregaços corados em microscopia ótica comum (1000 x). Apesar de ambos antimicrobianos induzirem aumento de ânion superóxido intracelular, detectado em ensaios de redução de nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), o ciprofloxacino induziu maior quantidade que a amoxicilina. A demonstração de que diferentes antimicrobianos possam atuar sobre...( Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Amoxycillin and ciprofloxacin are antimicrobials with dissimilar mechanisms of action against bacteria. This is a comparative study of how each of these agents affects some of the factors related to the virulence of the pathogenic strain of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The post-antibiotic effect, hemolytic activity against sheep erythrocytes, cytolysin activity against McCoy cells and susceptibility to opsonin-dependent and independent phagocytosis by neutrophils from Rattus albinus norvegicus were assessed in bacteria grown in a subinhibitory concentration (½ MIC) of each agent. Induction of oxidative stress was observed directly by detecting superoxide production in response to the bacteria. Both the antimicrobials exerted effect on the growth of S. aureus, which was significantly different from the growth of controls, though amoxycillin had the stronger effect. Hemolytic activity was diminished in the presence of amoxycillin, but both agents induced an increase in the activity of secreted cytolysins. By employing luminol-dependent chemiluminescence to assess the susceptibility of the bacteria to phagocytosis by detecting the respiratory burst in polymorphonuclear neutrophils, it was shown that amoxycillin had a positive effect on opsonin-dependent phagocytosis, while ciprofloxacin stimulated non-opsonized phagocytosis. Since detection of the respiratory burst is an indirect demonstration of phagocytosis, direct observation of stained slides under the light microscope at 1000 × magnification was used to confirm the presence of bacteria ingested by and adhering to neutrophils. While both agents induced a rise in the intracellular level of superoxide, assayed by nitroblue tetrazolium reduction, ciprofloxacin produced the stronger response. The demonstration that distinct antimicrobials... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
