| description |
Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-KP) remains the most
notorious nosocomial pathogen due to resistance towards all β-lactam
antibiotics. Mining of novel antimicrobials, especially from essential oils are
crucial to address this issue. Hence, this study was undertaken to identify and
elucidate the mode of action of novel antimicrobial agents from essential oils.
From the preliminary screening of five essential oils, lavender essential oil
(LVO) reacted synergistically with meropenem, reducing the effective dosage of
LVO from 10% to 0.63% and meropenem from 32 μg/mL to 8 μg/mL. The other
four essential oils reacted additively with meropenem with cinnamon bark
essential oil (CBO) having the highest degree of additivity, reducing the
effective dosage of CBO from 0.16% to 0.08% and meropenem from 32 μg/mL
to 16 μg/mL. Comparative proteomic analysis suggested membrane disruption,
as indicated by reduced abundance of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins in
LVO- and CBO-treated KPC-KP cells. Upregulation of oxidative stress regulator
and downregulation of oxidative stress-sensitive proteins indicates presence of
oxidative stress upon exposure to essential oil, explaining the membrane
disruption phenomena via lipid peroxidation. Membrane disruption assays,
namely zeta potential measurement, outer membrane permeability assay and
scanning electron microscopy was performed to validate the membrane
disruption speculation. It was observed that exposure to LVO and CBO
increases the membrane zeta potential and membrane permeability of KPC-KP
cells. Membrane disruption can also be seen in the scanning electron
microscopy with corrugated bacterial surface. The results strongly suggest that
LVO and CBO disrupt the bacterial membrane via induction of oxidative stress.
Comparative studies between additive and synergistic interaction revealed that
additivity interaction (CBO-meropenem) are slightly inferior when compared to
the synergistic combinations (LVO-meropenem) in terms of membrane
disruption. LVO was selected for further analysis involving the identification of
antimicrobial compounds. GC-MS analysis identified 32 compounds; β-caryophyllene (BCP), borneol (BNO), linalool (LOL) and linalyl anthranilate
(LNA) were selected for antimicrobial screening based on composition
percentage. It was found that only LNA and LOL were bioactive against KPCKP
cells; both reacted additively to meropenem. Comparative proteomic
analysis performed revealed similar results as LVO, showing low abundance of
membrane and cytoplasmic proteins, suggesting membrane disruption.
Upregulation of oxidative stress regulator and downregulation of oxidative
stress-sensitive proteins indicates the presence of oxidative stress which leads
to lipid peroxidation and membrane disruption. Zeta potential measurements
revealed an increase in membrane charge while the outer membrane assay
showed an increase in membrane permeability in KPC-KP cells treated with
LNA, LOL and LNA-LOL. Electron microscopy showed both compounds had
significant role in disrupting the bacterial membrane which leads to intracellular
leakage and cell death. Compounds were subjected to cytotoxicology
evaluation via the MTT assay; results showed that the combination of LNA and
LOL are relatively less toxic to HepG2 cell lines in comparison to individual
compound. In conclusion, this study explained the mechanism of LVO and
CBO, LNA and LOL on bacterial membrane disruptions together with
cytotoxicity evaluation of compounds against HepG2 cells. The findings would
be helpful in future application of LNA and LOL as novel antimicrobial agents in
clinical settings. |
