Abstract

The emergence of biofilms have generated urgent alarm in clinical and medicine manufacturing fields engaged in the search for novel antimicrobials from ethno-medicinal plants. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has estimated that 70% of all microbial infections in the world are associated with biofilms. In addition, the emergence of strains resistant to conventional antibiotics has become a serious threat to global public health. Therefore, finding alternative medicines is a major issue in the field of integrative medicine. In this study, four different herb extracts were screened for biofilm formation and the activities of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Of them, Scutellaria scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank extracts had inhibitory effects on bacterial growth and biofilm formation. The Scutellaia scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank extracts did not cause any cytotoxicity to L929 cells. The growth of K. pneumoniae was inhibited compared to other comparators in the experimental group containing Scutellaia scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank. In a group of experiments with plant extracts, a maximum of 60 times the level of living bacteria was confirmed compared to the controls without the addition of the Scutellaia scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank extracts. In a group of experiments with a significantly lower level of fluorescence extraction, differential interference contrast imaging showed that the number of K. pneumonae was reduced. These results suggest that extracts of this plant be applied as antimicrobial agents against K. pneumoniae, particularly in biofilm forms.

주술적 의료로 이용되는 식물에서 새로운 항미생물질을 찾는 있는 중에 바이오필름의 출현은 임상, 의학 제조업 분야에서 다급한 신호를 보내주고 있는 것이다. 국립보건원(NIH)은 세계 모든 미생물 감염의 70%가 바이오필름과 연관되어 있다고 추정하고 있으며, 기존의 항생제에 내성이 있는 변종의 출현은 전세계 공중 보건에 심각한 위협이 되고 있다. 따라서 대체의학 물질을 찾아 내는 것은 통합(동서양) 의학의 중요한 화두이다. 이 연구에서 Klebsiella pneumoniae의 바이오 필름 형성과 활성화에 대한 네 가지 허브 추출물을 스크린 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 식물 추출액 중에 Scutellaria scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank 추출물이 박테리아의 성장과 바이오 필름 형성에 억제 효과를 보여 주었다. Scutellaria scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank 추출물이 L929세포에 대한 세포독성을 띄지 않음을 확인 하였다. Scutellaria을 첨가한 실험군에서 다른 대조군에 비해 K. pneumoniae의 성장이 억제되었다. Scutellaria scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank 추출액이 첨가되지 않은 대조군과 비교하면, 식물 추출액이 첨가된 실험군에서는 생균수가 최대 약 60배 억제되었음을 확인 하였다. Scutellaria scordifolia Fisch. ex Schrank 추출물이 포함된 실험 군에서 K. pneumoniae 균의 개체수가 줄어들어 있음을 differential interference contrast (DIC)의 이미지를 통해서도 확인하였으며, 형광세기의 비교분석을 통해 음성대조군에 비해 추출물이 포함된 실험군에서 형광세기가 통계학적으로 유의하게 낮아져 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 이 식물 추출물이 K. pneumoniae의, 특히 바이오필름 형성에서 항균제로서 적용될 수 있음을 암시해 주는 것이다.
