噬菌体或噬菌体,细菌的病毒,是大多数生态系统的丰富组成部分,包括那些细菌主要占据生物膜小生境的生态系统。因此,了解噬菌体对细菌生物膜的影响对于了解噬菌体和细菌生态学至关重要。在这里,我们需要在体外进行的噬菌体与细菌生物膜的相互作用的研究,因为这些研究作为我们的生态和治疗的理解噬菌体对生物膜的影响的基础。我们认为,噬菌体生物膜在体外实验往往可以改善设计和解释。讨论的具体问题包括:(a)没有区分新生物膜生长的控制与现有生物膜的去除,(B)噬菌体滴度的描述不充分,(c)人为的小覆盖流体体积,(d)治疗剂量和持续时间的有限探索,(e)仅终点而不是动力学分析,(f)区分噬菌体酶促与噬菌体溶菌抗生物膜活性的重要性,(g)生物膜生物量测定的局限性,(h)游离噬菌体对活菌计数测定的干扰,和(i)实验条件的重要性。为了更好地理解噬菌体生物膜相互作用的生态学,以及噬菌体介导的生物膜破坏,我们在这里讨论这些不同的问题,以及提供改进实验及其报告的提示。
Bacteriophages or phages, the viruses of bacteria, are abundant components of most ecosystems, including those where bacteria predominantly occupy biofilm niches. Understanding the phage impact on bacterial biofilms therefore can be crucial toward understanding both phage and bacterial ecology. Here, we take a critical look at the study of bacteriophage interactions with bacterial biofilms as carried out in vitro, since these studies serve as bases of our ecological and therapeutic understanding of phage impacts on biofilms. We suggest that phage-biofilm in vitro experiments often may be improved in terms of both design and interpretation. Specific issues discussed include (a) not distinguishing control of new biofilm growth from removal of existing biofilm, (b) inadequate descriptions of phage titers, (c) artificially small overlying fluid volumes, (d) limited explorations of treatment dosing and duration, (e) only end-point rather than kinetic analyses, (f) importance of distinguishing phage enzymatic from phage bacteriolytic anti-biofilm activities, (g) limitations of biofilm biomass determinations, (h) free-phage interference with viable-count determinations, and (i) importance of experimental conditions. Toward bettering understanding of the ecology of bacteriophage-biofilm interactions, and of phage-mediated biofilm disruption, we discuss here these various issues as well as provide tips toward improving experiments and their reporting.
