A New Method for Obtaining Monospecies and Binary Cultures of Staphylococcus spp. in Alginate Gel and the Study of the Action of Active Compounds on These Cultures on the Example of Catecholamines.

A simple and efficient method for obtaining monospecies and binary Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis cultures in sodium alginate gel matrix mimicking the natural microenvironment of the nasal cavity was proposed. The cultures were used for studying the effect of norepinephrine on monospecies and binary communities of two types of bacteria, S. aureus (invasive strain) and S.

Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of biofilms and planktonic cultures in presence of epinephrine.

Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis were performed on 72 h biofilms of the acneic strain and planktonic cultures in the presence of epinephrine. Epinephrine predominantly downregulated genes associated with various transporter proteins. No correlation was found between proteomic and transcriptomic profiles.

A-Type Natriuretic Peptide Alters the Impact of Azithromycin on Planktonic Culture and on (Monospecies and Binary) Biofilms of Skin Bacteria and .

It has been established that the human atrial natriuretic peptide is able to alter the effect of azithromycin on H01 and 209P monospecies and binary biofilms. The effect of the hormone depends on the surface type and cultivation system, and it may have both enhancing and counteracting effects. The antagonistic effect of the hormone was observed mostly on hydrophobic surfaces, whereas the additive effect was observed on hydrophilic surfaces like glass.

Epinephrine Affects Ribosomes, Cell Division, and Catabolic Processes in Skin Strain C01: Revelation of the Conditionally Extensive Hormone Effect Using Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry and Proteomic Analysis.

In the current study, extensive Orbitrap mass spectrometry analysis was conducted for skin strain C01 planktonic cultures and biofilms after 24 h and 72 h of incubation either in the presence of epinephrine or without any implementations. The investigation revealed the complex and conditionally extensive effect of epinephrine at concentrations closer to normal blood plasma concentrations on both planktonic cultures and biofilms of skin strain C01. The concentrations of hundreds of proteins changed during the shift from planktonic growth mode to biofilm and hundreds of proteins were downregulated or upregulated in the presence of epinephrine.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Acts as a Microorganism-Activated Regulator of the Skin Commensals and in Dual-Species Biofilms.

The effect of C-type natriuretic peptide in a concentration closer to the normal level in human blood plasma was studied on the mono-species and dual-species biofilms of the skin commensal bacteria HL043PA2 and ATCC14990. Despite the marginal effect of the hormone on cutibacteria in mono-species biofilms, the presence of staphylococci in the community resulted in a global shift of the CNP effect, which appeared to increase the competitive properties of , its proliferation and the metabolic activity of the community. was mostly inhibited in the presence of CNP.
