Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease where patients are more susceptible to infection and inflammation. The most salient symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) are skin dysbiosis and ceramide deficiency. Here, the effect of AD conditions on S. aureus resilience was investigated. S. aureus and S. epidermidis biofilms were co-inoculated at healthy and AD bacterial ratios and exposed to various sphingosine dosing regimens. In both healthy (S. epidermidis dominant) and AD (S. aureus dominant) conditions the viability of the non-dominant bacterial species was affected. Quorum sensing (QS)-impaired S. aureus was overall more susceptible to sphingosine. Despite the general resilience of QS-intact S. aureus against sphingosine, modulation of S. epidermidis (healthy ratio) and sphingosine (healthy Sph) led to a lack of recovery from its initial killing. Overall, it was found that when in biofilms, S. epidermidis increases S. aureus resilience to sphingosine, possibly enhancing the pathogen's recalcitrance in AD skin.
期刊介绍:
Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion.
Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context.
Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.
