Anonymized clinical strains S. aureus PECHA 10 and P. aeruginosa PECHA 4, derived from patients with chronic wounds12 (link), were used in this study. These bacteria, coming from the private collection of the Bacteriological Laboratory of the Pharmacy Department, University “G. d’Annunzio” Chieti-Pescara, were cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA, Oxoid, Milan, Italy) and Cetrimide Agar (CET, Oxoid, Milan, Italy), respectively.
For the experiments, bacteria were cultured in Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB, Oxoid, Milan, Italy) and incubated at 37 °C overnight in aerobic condition and then refreshed for 2 h at 37 °C in an orbital shaker in aerobic condition. The cultures were standardized to on Optical Density at 600 nm (OD600) = 0.125 and diluted 1:10 for S. aureus PECHA 10 and 1:100 for P. aeruginosa PECHA 4, to obtain 106 CFU/ml and 105 CFU/ml, respectively.

Throughout the period from October 2016 to March 2018, a total of 332 bacterial cultures were recovered from Qasr El-Aini, October 6 University Hospital, Dar El Salam Cancer Center, Al-Helal hospital, National Cardiology Institute, EL-Nile Badrawy hospital, Abu Al-Reish hospital, Sheikh-Zayed Specialized hospital, National Cancer Institute, and Medical Research Institute-Alexandria, Egypt. These bacterial isolates were recovered from different clinical specimens of hospitalized patients after obtaining informed consents. Clinical specimens were collected from the wound, burn, urine, and sputum. Environmental samples were collected from samples of water and fomites in hospital settings.
Fresh samples were cultivated on Cetrimide agar media, after which isolated species were identified by a regular microbiological technique such as colony morphology (green exopigment Cetrimide agar), Gram staining (Gram-negative rods), and biochemical reactions (oxidase-positive and citrate-positive). Identification at the species level was performed by using the Microbact™ Gram-negative system. The Microbact system was implemented in compliance with the manufacturer’s protocol (Oxoid, UK). Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 12924) standard strain was used as a positive control.

For strain maintenance and cloning experiments, the strains P. putida KT2440 (DSM6125, ATCC47054), E. coli DH5α (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), and E. coli PIR2 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were routinely cultivated in LB medium containing 10 g L−1 peptone, 5 g L−1 yeast extract, and 10 g L−1 NaCl. P. putida was cultivated at 30°C and E. coli at 37°C. If required, 50 μg mL−1 kanamycin or 30 μg mL−1 gentamycin were added to the medium to avoid loss of plasmid. After mating procedures, P. putida strains were selected on cetrimide agar (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Growth and production experiments were performed using M9 minimal medium with a final composition (per L) of 8.5 g Na2HPO4x2H2O, 3 g KH2PO4, 0.5 g NaCl, 1 g NH4Cl, 2 mM MgSO4, 4.87 mg FeSO4x7H2O, 4.12 mg CaCl2x2H2O, 1.5 mg MnCl2x4H2O, 1.87 mg ZnSO4x7H2O, 0.3 mg H3BO3, 0.25 mg Na2MoO4x2H2O, 0.15 mg CuCl2x2H2O, 0.84 mg Na2EDTAx2H2O (Sambrook and Russell, 2001 ), and 10 g glucose for pre-cultures or 10 g xylose for main cultures.

Characterization of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Cited 3 times
The bacterial strains used in in vitro experiments included strains obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and wild-type strains isolated from hospital surfaces. ATCC strains included S. aureus (ATCC 25923), E. coli (ATCC 25922), and P. aeruginosa (ATCC BAA-47). Hospital isolates included three strains selected for their drug resistance characteristics: S. aureus (SA2-R73), E. coli (EC-R60), and P. aeruginosa (PA-V6). Hospital isolates were collected by direct sampling of hospital surfaces with 55 mm diameter contact Rodac plates (24 cm2 surface), containing the following selective media: Baird–Parker agar (for Staphylococcus spp., cat. n. 146189), MacConkey agar (for Enterobacteriaceae spp., cat. n. 146427), and cetrimide agar (for Pseudomonas spp., cat. n. 146768) (all bacterial media were from Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Grown colonies with morphological S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa features were further streaked on the corresponding selective medium and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours, to isolate single pure colonies. Each individual colony was then characterized by Gram-staining, and identified by appropriate biochemical tests (API-Staph, cat. n. 20500, and API-20E, cat. n. 20100; Biomerieux, Florence, Italy).
After identification, all isolates were expanded overnight in tryptic soy broth (TSB, cat. n. 146599; Merck Millipore) at 37°C, frozen in 50% sterile glycerol, and kept at −80°C until use. Each isolate was characterized for antibiotic resistance by conventional disc-diffusion Kirby–Bauer antibiograms, using Mueller–Hinton agar plates (cat. n. 105437; Merck Millipore), testing the following antibiotics: penicillin G (cat. n. CT0043B; Oxoid, Altrincham, UK), ampicillin (Oxoid; cat. n. CT0003B; Oxoid), vancomycin (cat. n. CT0058B; Oxoid), oxacillin (cat. n. CT0040B; Oxoid), ofloxacin (cat. n. CT0446B; Oxoid), cefotaxime (cat. n. CT066B; Oxoid), cefoxitin (cat. n. CT0119B; Oxoid), gentamicin (cat. n. 9026; Liofilchem, Italy), imipenem (cat. n.

Zone inhibition diameters were interpreted according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing breakpoint tables for interpretation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and inhibition zone diameters38 and to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute manual (26th edition).39 In addition, MICs of resistant strains were also measured, accordingly to European Food Safety Authority guidelines, by using antibiotic stripes containing serial dilutions of each antibiotic (cat. n. 92003, 92033, 92006, 92066, 92141, 92009, 92054, 92085, 92099, 92015, 92102, 92057; Liofilchem).

Biofilm Formation Assay for C. albicans and P. aeruginosa
Cited 1 time
Biofilm assays were based on previously described methodology [13 (link)], but scaled up to six-well plates. In brief, overnight cultures of C. albicans and P. aeruginosa were washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and C. albicans resuspended at 1×106 cells ml−1 and P. aeruginosa to an OD600 of 0.2 [~2×108 colony-forming units (c.f.u.) ml−1] in Mueller–Hinton broth. Each well contained 3 ml C. albicans and 300 µl of P. aeruginosa in a total of 6 ml. Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h to allow cells to adhere, at which point the media were replaced with fresh sterile media, and plates were incubated statically at 37 °C for 24 h. Cells not part of the biofilm were removed, media were replaced with fresh MHB containing 0 or 5 µg ml−1 meropenem, and plates were incubated for 4 h. Media were replaced with 2 ml PBS containing 50 µg ml−1 DNase I and plates were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h to degrade the extracellular matrix. Biofilms were detached from the plate by scraping, serially diluted and plated onto selective agar (YPD agar supplemented with 100 µg ml−1 tetracycline to determine viable C. albicans c.f.u. and cetrimide agar to determine viable P. aeruginosa c.f.u.).
