Definitions
- the invention relates to a biofilm disrupting composition for use in treating biofilm-mediated infections due to non- Pseudomonas micro-organisms in the Cystic Fibrosis patient.
- a biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often these cells adhere to a surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS).
- the biofilm EPS is typically comprised of a polymeric conglomeration generally composed of extracellular DNA (eDNA), proteins, and polysaccharides. Biofilms may form on living or non-living surfaces and can be prevalent in natural, industrial and hospital settings.
- the sessile microbial cells growing in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may float or swim in a liquid medium.
- Microbes form a biofilm in response to many factors, which may include cellular recognition of specific or non-specific attachment sites on a surface, nutritional cues, or in some cases, by exposure of planktonic cells to sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics.
- a cell switches to the biofilm mode of growth, it undergoes a phenotypic shift in behavior in which large suites of genes are differentially regulated.
- microorganisms demonstrate significantly greater resistance to both biocides and antibiotics. This resistance feature of sessile microbes is a dual function of the enhanced genetic expression and also shielding by the surrounding polymeric materials of the biofilm.
- Traditional antimicrobial therapies have been ineffective in the treatment of bacterial infections when the bacteria are located within a biofilm which is within, adherent to, or above tissue or located within a void such as the lungs or bladder, or in nasal passages or on the surface of a wound or burn. The additional risk of a multi-drug-resistant-organism increases the likelihood of significant morbidity or even death.
- GSH Inhaled glutathione
- GSH and DNase I can be combined for treating chronic Pseudomonas infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis (Klare et al., Canberra ASM meeting, July 2015). Further, GSH and DNase I have been found to be useful in the disruption of Pseudomonas biofilms in cystic fibrosis-like media and increasing susceptibility of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics (Klare et al., 2016 Antimicrobial Agents Chemotherapy 60 (8) 4539-4551), particularly when incorporated with an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin.
- the effectiveness of the combination of Glutathione and DNase I can be ascribed to the nature of the biofilms formed by Pseudomonas spp.
- the biofilm matrix consists predominantly of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- EPSs exopolysaccharides
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also known to release exoproducts into the EPS.
- the blue, redox-active phenazine derivative called pyocyanin also contributes to the viscosity of the EPS by intercalating directly with the EPS.
- Pyocyanin has also been demonstrated to promote the release of eDNA from P. aeruginosa (see Das T, and Manefield M, “ Pyocyanin Promotes Extracellular DNA Release in Pseudomonas aeruginosa ”; Plos One (2012), 7, e46718).
- Pyocyanin also contributes to the disease processes in Cystic Fibrosis. In vitro studies have shown that pyocyanin has multiple deleterious effects on mammalian cells, such as inhibition of cell respiration, ciliary function, epidermal cell growth and prostacyclin release, disruption of calcium homeostasis, and inactivation of catalase. Pyocyanin also induces apoptosis in neutrophils and modulates the glutathione redox cycle in lung epithelial and endothelial cells. It also inactivates al protease inhibitor and contributes to the imbalance of protease-antiprotease activity, which is readily detected in the airways of patients with CF lung disease.
- the youngest age groups also had the highest proportions with positive cultures of the bacteria Escherichia coli; 12 percent, for those in the age (source: “CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN AUSTRALIA 2014”, 17th Annual Report from the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Data Registry, Cystic Fibrosis Australia (2016), North Ryde, NSW, Australia).

Description
- The invention relates to a biofilm disrupting composition for use in treating biofilm-mediated infections due to non-Pseudomonas micro-organisms in the Cystic Fibrosis patient.
- A biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often these cells adhere to a surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The biofilm EPS is typically comprised of a polymeric conglomeration generally composed of extracellular DNA (eDNA), proteins, and polysaccharides. Biofilms may form on living or non-living surfaces and can be prevalent in natural, industrial and hospital settings. The sessile microbial cells growing in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may float or swim in a liquid medium.
- Microbes form a biofilm in response to many factors, which may include cellular recognition of specific or non-specific attachment sites on a surface, nutritional cues, or in some cases, by exposure of planktonic cells to sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics. When a cell switches to the biofilm mode of growth, it undergoes a phenotypic shift in behavior in which large suites of genes are differentially regulated.
- Within a biofilm structure, microorganisms demonstrate significantly greater resistance to both biocides and antibiotics. This resistance feature of sessile microbes is a dual function of the enhanced genetic expression and also shielding by the surrounding polymeric materials of the biofilm. Traditional antimicrobial therapies have been ineffective in the treatment of bacterial infections when the bacteria are located within a biofilm which is within, adherent to, or above tissue or located within a void such as the lungs or bladder, or in nasal passages or on the surface of a wound or burn. The additional risk of a multi-drug-resistant-organism increases the likelihood of significant morbidity or even death.
- Inhaled glutathione (GSH) therapy has been used to reduce oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis patients and inhibit proliferation of Pseudomonas infections in cystic fibrosis patients, including increasing susceptibility of the Pseudomonas to antibiotics (Zhang Y and Duan K, “Glutathione exhibits antibacterial activity and increases tetracycline efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa”; Sci. China Ser. C, (2009) 52:501-505.
- It has also been found that GSH and DNase I can be combined for treating chronic Pseudomonas infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis (Klare et al., Canberra ASM meeting, July 2015). Further, GSH and DNase I have been found to be useful in the disruption of Pseudomonas biofilms in cystic fibrosis-like media and increasing susceptibility of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics (Klare et al., 2016 Antimicrobial Agents Chemotherapy 60 (8) 4539-4551), particularly when incorporated with an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin.
- The effectiveness of the combination of Glutathione and DNase I can be ascribed to the nature of the biofilms formed by Pseudomonas spp. The biofilm matrix consists predominantly of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Despite macromolecule heterogeneity, most research has focused on the role of bacterially produced exopolysaccharides (EPSs) in biofilm establishment and maturation.
- The integral role of extracellular DNA in biofilm formation was first identified in P. aeruginosa by Whitchurch et al (Whitchurch C B, Tolker-Nielsen T, Ragas P C, Mattick J S. “Extracellular DNA required for bacterial biofilm formation”. Science (2002) 295:1487. doi:10.1126/science.295.5559.1487), but eDNA has since been shown to be a ubiquitous biofilm matrix polymer across most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species. In fact, within P. aeruginosa biofilms, eDNA is the most abundant matrix polymer (see Matsukawa M, Greenberg E P. “Putative exopolysaccharide synthesis genes influence Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development”. J Bacteriol (2004) 186:4449-4456. doi:10.1128/JB.186.14.4449-4456.2004. and Okshevsky M, Meyer R L. “The role of extracellular DNA in the establishment, maintenance and perpetuation of bacterial biofilms”. Crit Rev Microbiol (2013) 41:341-352). The eDNA also serves as a structural component of the EPS and contributes to its viscosity.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also known to release exoproducts into the EPS. One of these exoproducts, the blue, redox-active phenazine derivative called pyocyanin also contributes to the viscosity of the EPS by intercalating directly with the EPS. Pyocyanin has also been demonstrated to promote the release of eDNA from P. aeruginosa (see Das T, and Manefield M, “Pyocyanin Promotes Extracellular DNA Release in Pseudomonas aeruginosa”; Plos One (2012), 7, e46718).
- Pyocyanin also contributes to the disease processes in Cystic Fibrosis. In vitro studies have shown that pyocyanin has multiple deleterious effects on mammalian cells, such as inhibition of cell respiration, ciliary function, epidermal cell growth and prostacyclin release, disruption of calcium homeostasis, and inactivation of catalase. Pyocyanin also induces apoptosis in neutrophils and modulates the glutathione redox cycle in lung epithelial and endothelial cells. It also inactivates al protease inhibitor and contributes to the imbalance of protease-antiprotease activity, which is readily detected in the airways of patients with CF lung disease. More recently, it was shown that pyocyanin inactivates the vacuolar ATPase of lung epithelial cells (See Lau G W et al., “Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pyocyanin Is Critical for Lung Infection in Mice”. Infect. Immun. (2004) 72 4275-4278 and references therein)
- The most commonly identified organisms in respiratory specimens taken from Cystic Fibrosis patients are various species and forms of Pseudomonas. It can be seen that 48.5 percent of patients tested produced positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures, with the mucoid form showing in 32.0 percent. Its prevalence is greater in adult patients, with 60.9 percent of tested adult CF patients producing samples indicating the mucoid form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, three times the corresponding proportion for adolescents and much higher than that for children.
- While prevalence of Pseudomonas organisms is lower in children than in adults, although increasing with rising age, young children are more likely than adult patients to produce cultures showing presence of Staphylococcus aureus (see table 1). Half of all child patients and adolescent patients aged 6 to 17 years had this bacterial infection. Haemophilus influenza is also evident in relatively high proportions of child patients, highest in children aged from 2 to 5 years, where this organism was cultured for almost one third of children. The youngest age groups also had the highest proportions with positive cultures of the bacteria Escherichia coli; 12 percent, for those in the age (source: “CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN AUSTRALIA 2014”, 17th Annual Report from the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Data Registry, Cystic Fibrosis Australia (2016), North Ryde, NSW, Australia).

- The enzymes may be selected from the (non-limiting) group consisting of protease, amylase, cellulase, and DNase. In a preferred embodiment, the composition of the invention will contain two or more of these enzyme types. Preferably at least one of the enzymes is DNase.
- Optional Ancillary Agents
- The biofilm disrupting composition may optionally contain other ingredients such as tonicity modifiers, pH buffers, colourants, preservatives and perfumes.
- Tonicity Modifying Agent
- The composition of the invention may also contain tonicity modifying ingredients. These may comprise inorganic salts, for example sodium bromide, potassium bromide, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, or may comprise organic tonicity modifiers such as propylene glycol, glycerol, mannitol, arabitol, glucose, fructose etc. The composition of the invention may be isotonic (i.e. 250-350 mOsmal/Kg) or hypotonic (i.e. <250 mOsmal/Kg).
- Colouring Agent
- The composition of the invention may also comprise colouring agents. The colouring agents may be added to provide a function to the composition, such as the staining of components found within the bacterial biofilm, or may just be added to provide an aesthetically pleasing solution. When the colouring agent is added to stain components of the biofilm, the resultant staining may provide a visual cue as to the presence of the biofilm, thus also provide a means of monitoring its removal. Suitable colouring agents capable of staining biofilm components (for example protein, polysaccharide or bacterial cell walls) will include Coomassie Brilliant Blue, Crystal Violet, erythrosine and tartrazine.
- Processing Aids
- The biofilm disrupting composition may be in solid form, or the composition may be a solution. In the case of a solid mixture of ingredients, the mixture may comprise one or more processing aids such as mannitol, starch, glucose, sucrose etc. in order to allow the composition to be processed into micronized particles, preferably with a mean particle size of less than 500 microns. In a more preferred embodiment, the micronized composition will have a mean particle size of less than 100 microns, and in a particularly preferred embodiment, the micronized composition will have a mean particle size of less than 40 microns. The micronized composition of this particularly preferred embodiment is suitable for inhalation and useful for the disruption and removal of bacterial biofilms found in the lungs in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other airway infections in which biofilms due to non-Pseudomonad micro-organisms are implicated, such as recurrent rhinosinusitis or pharyngotonsillitis.
- In the case of a liquid composition, the mixture may contain one or more processing aids such as wetting agents, defoaming agents, antioxidants, viscosity modifiers etc.
- Observed Results
- Glutathione (GSH) especially at 30 milli Molar (3 times higher than biological intracellular concentration which is 2-10 millimolar) shows significantly higher effect than antibiotics in killing/disrupting biofilms, even against non-Pseudomonad organisms (see
FIGS. 1-13 ). - Combining GSH with low concentration of antibiotics (
FIGS. 2-13 ) enhances biofilms disruptions and killing. - DNase I by itself has no effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae biofilms disruption (see
FIGS. 10 and 11 ), but Dnase I by itself has some effect on MRAB biofilms disruption (seeFIG. 13 ). - Consequently 3 component combination therapy (3CT) (GSH+DNase I+Ciprofloxacin) used for Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae has similar effect as GSH+ciprofloxacin (2 component combination therapy (2CT). 3CT use for MRAB (GSH+DNase I+Amikacin) showed significantly better disruption/killing.
- In the following examples, all clinical isolates were taken from various hospitals in the Sydney, NSW area. Streptococcus agalactiae from Cow mastitis, isolated on a NSW farm.
- All strains sensitive to Ciprofloxacin (except for Acinetobacter baumannii). Many strains are resistant to different antibiotics including: penicillin, gentamicin, amoxycillin/Clavulanate, Cefazolin, am ikacin.
- Bacterial isolates were grown in Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB) medium for 24 hours at 37° C., in a shaking incubator set at 150 rpm. After this time the organisms were harvested by centrifugation (5000×g, 5 min at 10° C.). After centrifugation, the supernatant liquid was removed and the bacterial pellet was suspended in 1×Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). To initiate biofilm growth, the bacterial suspension from PBS was immediately re-suspended in TSB and 250 μL of bacterial cell suspension (OD600=0.5±0.05) were added into the wells of 96-well plates (Corning Corp. USA) and incubated at 37° C. for 48 h at 150 r.p.m.
- After 48 h, biofilm were washed once with 1×PBS followed by treatment (for 24 h, 37° C., 150 rpm under different conditions: either with Ciprofloxacin or Amikacin, DNase I (40 U solution, Sigma Aldrich) or GSH (
different concentration - After 24 h, treated biofilms supernatant were replaced with 200 μL of 1×PBS, followed by addition of 15 μL of a 0.05% w/v solution of resazurin (Sigma-Aldrich), and incubated further at 37° C., 150 r.p.m.
- After a further 24 h, the fluorescent intensity of the biofilm was determined at Ex544 nm and Em590 nm (Tecan infinite M1000 pro microplate reader). Results are plotted as percentage (%) of bacterial vaiability calculated based on fluorescent intensity. Control or untreated bacterial biofilm fluorescent intensity always considered as 100% bacterial viability and % viability under rest of treatment conditions were calculated with reference to control.
- It should be noted that the Resazurin assay works by recording fluorescence intensity and depends upon two factors (total number of bacteria and total number of viable bacteria in a given biofilm sample).
- Example 2 is a comparative, prior art, example demonstrating the use of the combination of glutathione with an antibiotic, ciprofloxacin. As previously discussed, it is widely believed that the role of the glutathione is to deactivate the pyocyanin released by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is noted that the treatments shown in column 1 of Table 2 were tested against three clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The treatments used are given in column 1, and the % bacterial viability for each strain tested are given in the subsequent columns (see also
