Effects of lipid emulsions on the formation of Escherichia coli–Candida albicans mixed-species biofilms on PVC

Abstract Patients receiving lipid emulsions are at increased risk of contracting catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in the clinic. More than 15% of CRBSIs are polymicrobial. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of lipid emulsions on the formation of Escherichia coli (...

More than 15% of CRBSIs are polymicrobial. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of lipid emulsions on the formation of Escherichia coli (E. coli)–Candida albicans (C. albicans) mixed-species biofilms (BFs) on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) surfaces and the underlying mechanism. Mixed-species BFs were produced by coculturing E. coli and C. albicans with PVC in various concentrations of lipid emulsions.

The microstructures of the BFs were observed by an approach that combined confocal laser scanning microscopy, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and scanning electron microscopy. The study found that lipid emulsions could promote the formation of E. coli–C. albicans mixed-species BFs, especially with 10% lipid emulsions. The mechanism by which lipid emulsions promote mixed-species BF formation may involve significant upregulation of the expression of the flhDC, iha, HTA1, and HWP1 genes, which are associated with bacterial motility, adhesion, and BF formation. The results derived from this study necessitate strict aseptic precautions when handling lipid emulsions and avoiding the use of high concentrations of lipid emulsions for as long as possible.Shanshan LiWanshi DuanYujie LeiZhonghui WangChaojiang FuLiang HeZhenghai ShenMinjie LiYing ChenYunchao HuangNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-10 (2021)
