Résumé

Aloysia triphylla essential oil (EO) has antimicrobial activity on Staphylococcus aureus which is a pathogen responsible for severe infections and food contamination. The target of EO is mainly in the cytoplasmic membrane. In this work the mechanisms of action of the EO of A. triphylla on S. aureus were investigated. A. triphylla was collected from La Paz. The oil was analyzed by GC-MS. The antimicrobial effects were evaluated by MIC, MBC, killing time and TEM. MIC values were 23 μg/mL for 6.3 x 104 CFU/mL, 92 μg/mL for 5.71 x 105 CFU/mL and 180 μg/mL for 9 x 106 CFU/mL. The MBC was 5920 μg/mL for all cellular concentrations and it was necessary more time to kill bigger cell populations. Multilamellar and mesosome-like structures on the membrane were seen by TEM. A. triphylla oil is an antibacterial compound against S. aureus which main mechanism of action seems to be the cytoplasmic membrane disruption.


El aceite esencial (AE) de Aloysia triphylla posee actividad antimicrobiana contra Staphylococcus aureus, patógeno responsable de infecciones nosocomiales e alimenticias. El blanco de acción de los AE es la membrana citoplasmática. El mecanismo de acción del AE de A. triphylla sobre S. aureus fue investigado. El AE de A. triphylla (La Paz, Argentina) fue analizado por CG-EM. Se evaluó́ el efecto antimicrobiano por CIM, CBM, tiempo de muerte y MET. Los valores de CIM fueron 23 μg/mL para 6.3 x 104 UFC/mL, 92 μg/mL para 5.71 x 105 UFC/mL y 180 μg/mL para 9 x 106 UFC/mL. La CBM fue 5920 μg mL para todas las concentraciones celulares estudiadas. El tiempo de muerte fue determinado; necesitando mayor tiempo para matar una población celular elevada. Fueron observados por MET estructuras multilamerales y semejantes a mesosomas. El AE de A. triphylla es un potencial compuesto antibacteriano contra S. aureus donde su principal mecanismo de acción es por disrupción de la membrana citoplasmática.

Résumé

The study was conducted to characterize pheno-genotypically the virulence factors and resistance pattern of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from milk samples of cows with subclinical mastitis. All hemolytic isolates presented beta-hemolysin, and 38 percent of the non-hemolytic isolates were able to express hemolysins in the presence of a beta-hemolytic strain. The amplification of the coa-gene displayed four different size polymorphisms with about 400 bp, 600 bp, 700 bp and 900 bp. The spaA gene that encodes the IgG-binding region of protein A revealed sizes of 700 bp and 900 bp. The amplification of region X from spaA yielded a single amplicon for each isolate with the prevalent amplicon size being of 180 bp. Amplification of sae gene yielded an amplicon size of 920 bp in 71 percent of the isolates. Antibiotic resistance pattern revealed that 42 percent S. aureus were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested. Seven different antibiotic patterns were observed. Our results indicated that 47 percent and 25 percent of S. aureus strains exhibited resistance to penicillin and oxacillin respectively. All oxacillin-resistant isolates were mecA-positive.


O presente estudo foi conduzido com o objetivo de caracterizar feno-genotipicamente os fatores de virulência e perfil de resistência aos antibióticos de Staphylococcus aureus isolados de amostras de leite de vacas com mastite clínica e subclínica. Em todos os isolados hemolíticos foi detectada a presença de beta hemolisina e 38 por cento dos não-hemolíticos produziram hemolisinas na presença de cepa beta-hemolítica. A amplificação do gene coa apresentou quatro tipos polimórficos distintos com aproximadamente 400 bp, 600 bp, 700 bp e 900 bp. O gene spaA que codifica a região de ligação da proteína A à IgG apresentou bandas de 700 bp e 900 bp. A amplificação do gene que codifica a região X revelou um único amplicon para cada isolado sendo o tamanho prevalente o de 250pb. A amplificação do gene sae resultou em amplicons com 920 pb em 71 por cento dos isolados. O teste de suscetibilidade antimicrobiana revelou que 42 por cento dos S. aureus foram sensíveis a todos os antibióticos testados. Foram observados sete diferentes padrões de resistência. Os resultados indicaram que 47 por cento e 25 por cento dos isolados foram resistentes à penicilina e oxacilina, respectivamente. Todos os isolados resistentes à oxacilina foram positivos para o gene mecA.
