Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the effect of Periplaneta americana extract CⅡ-3(hereinafter referred to as "CⅡ-3") on the formation of Candida albicans biofilm, so as to lay a foundation for the development of antifungal biofilm drugs. Methods: CⅡ-3 was added to Candida albicans solution and incubated with biofilm. CⅡ-3 high dose group, CⅡ-3 low dose group, positive control group and negative control group were set up respectively. The effect of CⅡ-3 on the formation of Candida albicans biofilm was detected by morphological observation and MTT method. The inhibition rate of biofilm was calculated to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of CⅡ-3 on Candida albicans biofilm at different growth stages. Results: Candida albicans could still form biofilm-like structure under the action of CⅡ-3. The inhibition rates of biofilm in high dose group were 25.1% and 13.9%, which were lower than the inhibition rate of fluconazole biofilm(79.3%). When incubated with Candida albicans biofilm at different growth stages, the highest inhibition rate of CⅡ-3 on 8 h biofilms was 61.7%, followed by the inhibition rates on 16 h and 24 h biofilms (35.4% and 21.9%), while fluconazole only had significant inhibitory effect on 4 h biofilms (inhibition rate of 75.5%), and had no significant inhibitory effect on biofilms at other growth stages. The inhibitory effect of CⅡ-3 on Candida albicans aggregation and mature biofilm was 2-9 times that of fluconazole. Conclusion: The extract CⅡ-3 mainly inhibits the biofilm formation of Candida albicans in the aggregation and maturation stages, and the inhibition effect does not show a significant dose-effect relationship.
