Anti-biofilm Activities from Resveratrol against Fusobacterium nucleatum

Abstract: Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium that plays an important role in dental plaque biofilm formation. In this study, we evaluate the effect of resveratrol, a phytoalexin compound, on F. nucleatum biofilm formation. The effects of different concentrations of resveratrol on biofilms formed on 96-well microtiter plates at different time points were determined by the MTT assay. The structures and thicknesses of the biofilm were observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and g… Show more

“…We showed that resveratrol exhibits antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis with a MIC of 250 µg/ml. This finding was consistent with previous studies, which reported that resveratrol inhibits the growth of other periodontopathogens including Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and F. nucleatum (He et al, ; O'Connor, Wong, & Rabie, ; Phoolcharoena et al, ). Since the over‐growth of P. gingivalis promotes a dysbiotic microbiota and an inflammatory microenvironment in periodontal pockets, the anti‐ P. gingivalis activity of resveratrol may contribute to attenuate the pathogenic process of periodontitis.…”

“…The mechanism involved in biofilm killing is likely related to the ability of resveratrol to alter the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane, as mentioned above. Interestingly, in a previous study, He et al () reported that resveratrol significantly decreases biofilm formation by F. nucleatum and suggested that the mechanism by which resveratrol exerts its effect on F. nucleatum biofilm formation at sub‐MICs is distinct from the mode of action by which resveratrol inhibits growth.…”

“…F. nucleatum is regarded as a central organism for dental biofilm maturation due to its wide ability to aggregate with other microorganisms, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis [Tavares et al 2018]. It is considered as a bridge bacterium between early and late colonizers in dental plaque [He et al 2016]. The eventuality of H. pylori-and non H. pylory biofilm formation in the gastric environment has been raised [Rizzato et al 2019].…”

“…The growth inhibition assay was performed according to the previous method [19]. After amplifying in BHI media, the F. nucleatum was harvested by centrifugation and adjusted to a final concentration at an OD of 650nm of 0.5 (10^9 CFU/ml) in the AS.…”
