Abstract:
High quinolone resistance of Escherichia coli limits the therapy options for urinary tract infection (UTI). In response to the urgent need for efficient treatment of multidrug‐resistant infections, we designed a fimbriae targeting superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) delivering ciprofloxacin to ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli . Bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugated poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) coated SPIONs (BSA@PAA@SPION) were developed for encapsulation of ciprofloxacin and the nanoparticles were tagged with 4‐aminophenyl‐α‐D‐mannopyrannoside (mannoside, Man) to target E. coli fimbriae. Ciprofloxacin‐loaded mannoside tagged nanoparticles (Cip‐Man‐BSA@PAA@SPION) provided high antibacterial activity (97.1 and 97.5%, respectively) with a dose of 32 μg/mL ciprofloxacin against two ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli isolates. Furthermore, a strong biofilm inhibition (86.9% and 98.5%, respectively) was achieved in the isolates at a dose 16 and 8 times lower than the minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) of ciprofloxacin. Weaker growth inhibition was observed with untargeted nanoparticles, Cip‐BSA@PAA@SPIONs, confirming that targeting E. coli fimbria with mannoside‐tagged nanoparticles increases the ciprofloxacin efficiency to treat ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli . Enhanced killing activity against ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli planktonic cells and strong growth inhibition of their biofilms suggest that Cip‐Man‐BSA@PAA@SPION system might be an alternative and/or complementary therapeutic option for the treatment of quinolone‐resistant E. coli infections.
