3 Prosthetics Implant infections are significantly caused by Staphylococci species (might be changing with new coated penile prosthetics) Much of the research has focused on this bacteria in relation to: Structural molecules Synthesis and genetics of biofilms Network of signal factors that provide control

4 Biofilm Despite the many possible definitions, bacterial biofilms can simply be described as a structured consortium of bacteria encased in a self-produced matrix. Bacterial Biofilm is formed around prosthetic material This is a consistent process Process involves various stages C.R. Arciola, J.W. Costerton et al. / Biomaterials 33 (2012) 5967e5982

5 Biofilm Device becomes contaminated with microorganisms during original surgery Initially they are considered planktonic Freely swim around spaces by prosthetic With multiplication, Race for the Surface Bacteria trying to reach and adhere to surface of prosthetic VS host macrophages and preoperative antimicrobials killing them Costerton JW, et al. Bacterial biofilms: A common cause of persitent infection. Science 1999;284: Costerton JW, Montanaro L, Arciola CR. Biofilm in implant infections: its production and regulation. Int J Artif Organs 2005;28(11):1062e8

6 Biofilm Formation of Actual Biofilm: Bacteria secrete adhesion molecules to attach to prosthetic material The attached bacterial colonies secrete extracellular polymers and form matrix This equals Biofilm! Structure is varied With channels that allow for transport of nutrients, water, and oxygen Jefferson KK. What defines bacteria to produce a biofilm? FEMS Microbiol Lett 2004;236: Costerton JW, Montanaro L, Arciola CR. Biofilm in implant infections: its production and regulation. Int J Artif Organs 2005;28(11):1062e8

7 Biofilm Consists of: Exopolysaccherides Proteins Teichoic acids Extracellular DNA (edna) These substances are dependant on the bacterial species, strain type, and environment

8 Biofilm Stages of Formation: Initial attachment of bacterial cells Cell aggregation and accumulation in multiple layers Biofilm maturation Detachment of cells from biofilm into a planktonic state to initiate a new cycle of biofilm formation

9 (Microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) C.R. Arciola, J.W. Costerton et al. / Biomaterials 33 (2012) 5967e5982

10 C.R. Arciola, J.W. Costerton et al. / Biomaterials 33 (2012) 5967e5982

11 Mechanisms Governing Expression of Biofilm The production of staphylococcal biofilm is under the control of a complex network of signal molecules acting either on the activation or on the inhibition of the expression of well defined biofilm components.

12 Scheme illustrating the complex signaling network governing biofilm expression In S. aureus based on current evidences C.R. Arciola, J.W. Costerton et al. / Biomaterials 33 (2012) 5967e5982

13 Biofilm Compromise the Host Immune Response Slime decreases phagocytic activity of neutrophils Optimizes resistance to Antimicrobial agents Bacteria in slime have reduced growth rates Allows Bacteria to resist antimicrobial agents unless extremely higher concentrations exist

14 Antimicrobial depletion (the agent does not reach the biofilm) Slow penetration (giving biofilm cells a chance to initiate stress responses) Stress response (cells change activity in response to environmental challenge) Altered microenvironment (metabolically inactive, though viable cells) "Persister" cells (spore-like cells that may survive an antimicrobial challenge)

15 Biofilm Within the slime: Bacteria can exchange genetic material Offers flexibility of different phenotypes This optimizes Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial agents

23 Anti-Biofilm Strategy

24 Anti-Biofilm Strategy A "locking" analogue of a specific detachment signal releases biofilm cells to the planktonic state, rendering them susceptible to antibiotics.
