Oligochitosan as a potential anti-acne vulgaris agent: combined antibacterial effects against Propionibacterium acnes

Abstract: To develop an antibacterial treatment for acne vulgaris using natural substance with few side effects, we investigated the antibacterial activities of oligochitosan against acne-related bacteria, particularly . Oligochitosan showed potent antibacterial effect on. Especially, 10 kDa oligochitosan presented the highest antimicrobial effect with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 32-64 μg/mL on . In addition, oligochitosan clearly reversed the antibacterial effect of tetracycline and erythromycin on in th… Show more

“…The MICs were the lowest concentrations of the crude extract that inhibited visual growth after incubating aerobic bacteria for 18 h and anaerobic bacteria for 48 h [23]. The MICs of SMYEE were determined by using the two-fold serial dilution method employing 96-well flat-bottomed microtitration plates inoculated with C. acnes strains at a final concentration of 1.0 × 10 5 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL.…”

“…After incubation, the microtitration plates were read visually at an optical density of 600 nm (OD 600 ), and the concentration of the chitosan-phytochemical conjugate that exhibited no turbidity was recorded as the MIC. MBCs were the lowest concentration to kill an initial bacterial inoculum by ≥99.9%; they can be determined from broth dilution MIC tests by sub-culturing to agar plates [23].…”

“…Additionally, many reports have demonstrated the antibacterial effects and antifungal effects of chitosan oligosaccharide. Chitosan oligosaccharide (10 kDa) had the highest antimicrobial effect with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 32–64 μg/mL on Propionibacterium acnes [ 24 ]. In addition, low-molecular-weight chitosan oligosaccharide inhibited bacterial activity, biofilm formation and hemolytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus [ 209 ].…”
