Effect of pH, Norepinephrine and Glucose on Metabolic and Biofilm Activity of Uropathogenic Microorganisms
Urinary tract infection (UTIs) aremainly caused by a number of anatomical and physiological dysfunctions, but there are also some iatrogenic factors, including the use of certain medications, that contribute to the development of UTIs.

description | Urinary tract infection (UTIs) aremainly caused by a number of anatomical and physiological dysfunctions, but there are also some iatrogenic factors, including the use of certain medications, that contribute to the development of UTIs. The virulence of bacteria that colonize the urinary tract may be modified by pH and by the presence of soluble substances in urine, such as norepinephrine (NE) and glucose. In this work, we studied the influence of NE and glucose across a range of pHs (5, 7, 8) on the biomass, matrix production and metabolism of uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. We used Congo red and gentian violet to stain the extracellular matrix and biomass, respectively, of biofilms. The optical density of staining of the biofilms was measured using a multichannel spectrophotometer. The metabolic activity was analyzed by MTT assay. It was shown that NE and glucose stimulate biomass production both in the Gram-negative and Gram-positive uropathogens. The metabolic activity in the presence of glucose was higher at pH 5 for E. coli (in 4.0 ± 0.1 times), Ps. aeruginosa (in 8.2 ± 0.2 times) and Kl. pneumoniae (in 4.1 ± 0.2 times). Matrix production of Kl. pneumoniae increased under NE (in 8.2 ± 0.2 times) and in the presence of glucose (in 1.5 ± 0.3 times). Thus, NE and glucose in urine may lead to persistent UTI under patient stress and in the case of metabolic glucose disorders. |
