Abstract in Portuguese
Pseudomonas aeruginosa é um patógeno multirresistente capaz de produzir um biofilme protetor contra antibacterianos (ATB). O presente estudo avaliou estratégias terapêuticas contra biofilmes de cepas multirresistentes de P. aeruginosa representativas de clones e/ou genótipos de resistência endêmicos no Brasil. Os biofilmes foram formados in vitro utilizando um modelo adaptado do MBEC Assay e as estratégias terapêuticas utilizaram bacteriófagos líticos, combinação de ATB e/ou uso de força iônica alta (meio FIA). A aplicação de bacteriófagos líticos (φSPM-1) e a combinação de Aztreonam (ATM) e Piperacilina/Tazobactam (PPT), não foram capazes de eliminar o biofilme. Biofilme formado em meio FIA possui CIM similar ao modelo planctônico, tanto para ATM (4 mg/mL) quanto para PPT (16 mg/mL). Ambos os ATB apresentaram CIM reduzida (inferior a 2 mg/mL) quando aplicados em conjunto com meio FIA. Dependendo da concentração de NaCl, a aplicação de meio FIA possui efeito bactericida sobre bactérias planctônicas e efeito bacteriostático sobre biofilmes já formados.

Abstract in English
Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen capable of producing a protective biofilm against antibiotics (ATB). The present study evaluated therapeutic strategies against biofilms of multidrug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa representative of clones and/or exhibiting resistance genotypes endemic in Brazil. Biofilms were formed in vitro using an adapted model of MBEC Assay and the therapeutic strategies used lytic bacteriophages, combination of ATB and/or use of high ionic strength (HIS medium). The application of lytic bacteriophages (φSPM-1) and the combination of Aztreonam (ATM) and Piperacillin / Tazobactam (PPT) were unable to remove the biofilm. The application of HIS during biofilm formation restored the bacteriostatic effect of both ATM (4 mg/mL) and PPT (16 mg/ml). Both ATB showed reduced MIC values (less than 2 mg/mL) when applied in conjunction with HIS medium. It was shown that HIS has a bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect on planktonic growth, which depend on the NaCl concentration, and bacteriostatic activity against mature biofilm.
