1 Biofilms no sign of infection but still not healing? <<Clinical Specialist>>
2 Chronic wounds Chronic wounds are increasing in prevalence as the population ages and the number of people living with multiple comorbidities that put them at risk of developing wounds rises 1. As the number of older people increases, the prevalence of chronic wounds will also continue to grow. 2
3 Chronic wounds Wounds represent a significant cost to patients as well as to the health economy 6. Chronic wounds are often hard to heal, resulting in a cycle of pain, anxiety and reduced quality of life for the patients as well as considerable treatment costs 6.
4 Chronic Wounds life is dominated by care Impact on daily life Reduced wellbeing Will it ever heal? Pain & discomfort Loss of work Decreased mobility Depression/anxiety My wound Smells Is it infected? Exudate levels Dressing changes
5 Hard to heal/stalled chronic wounds So you ve managed underlying comorbidities and addressed any obvious infection but the wounds still fails to progress.. WHY? BIOFILMS!
6 What do you know about Biofilms?
7 What is a biofilm? Biofilms are bacteria and or fungi that stick to surfaces and each other embedded within a matrix 1 Bacteria within this community can communicate and work cooperatively with each other The protective matrix shields bacteria from external threats like antimicrobial treatments or the body s immune response Donlan RM and Costerton JW. Clin Microbiol Rev 2002;15: Phillips PL, et al. Int Wounds J Cochrane DMG and Brown MRW. J Med Microbiol 1988; 27: Hall Stoodley L and Stoodley P. Cell Microbiol 2009; 11(7):
8 How do biofilms form? 1 Stages of Biofilm formation 1 A. Bacteria loosely attach to a surface B. Bacteria multiply allowing them to irreversibly attach to the surface and form microcolonies C. Bacteria are embedded in a matrix (containing both bacteria and host components) called Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS). Cells continue to multiply within this protected community D. Bacteria can disperse from the edges of the biofilm to colonise new surfaces and cause recurrent infections Image adapted from Stoodley, P et al. Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 2002; 56:
9 How quickly do wound biofilms form? Wolcott et al. (2010) 1 assessed antibiotic susceptibility of biofilms over 72 h from inoculation* or post debridement $ oin vitro: drip flow reactor, porcine ex vivo* oin vivo: delayed healing mouse model* oclinical: case study (n=3) following debridement $ Results showed: Increasing tolerance to antibiotics by 24 h Bacteria became resistant to treatment by 48/72 h Conclusions Treatment window with antibiotics up to 48h following debridement Antibiotic failure against mature (>48 h) biofilms Factor into treatment regimes and test model interpretation 1. Wolcott, RD et al. J. Wound Care 2010; 19: * In vitro/ animal models $ Clinical evaluation
10 Biofilms and disease Strong link between Biofilms and chronic/persistent infections in the body 1 Biofilms are medically important and linked to many hospital acquired infections accounting for around 80 percent of persistent microbial infections 2 Reservoir for recurrent infection 1 Minimal treatment options Increased tolerance to antimicrobials (antibiotics and antiseptics) 3 6 Compromised immune response Costerton JW et al. Science; 1999; 284: National Institutes of Health. Minutes of the National Advisory Dental and Craniofacial Research Council 153rd Meeting Report. 3. Phillips PL et al.

11 What evidence links biofilms and nonhealing chronic wounds? Five studies have highlighted; Clinical evidence of biofilms in 60% chronic wounds 1,2 Biofilm in wounds has been demonstrated to delay normal wound healing 2 4 Chronic inflammation from recurrent bacterial infections and immune cell lysis on biofilm affects ability to heal 5 1. James G, et al. Wound Repair Regen. 2008; 16: Roche ED, et al. Wound Repair Regen 2012; 20: Schierle CF, et al. Wound Repair Regen. 2009;17: Zhao G. et al. Wound Repair 2012; 20: Bjarnsholt T et al. Wound Repair Regen 2008; 16: 2 10.
12 How do you know it s a biofilm? No routine biofilm diagnostic tool available Not visible to the eye Non uniform distribution across the wound and presence in deeper tissues creates sampling issues 1,2 Clinician needs to look for indirect signs and symptoms Signs and symptoms of a biofilm presence are less obvious than those of overt acute infections therefore can be overlooked When presented with a combination of these markers biofilm should be suspected and biofilm based wound care initiated 1.

17 Biofilm signs and symptoms 1 7 Biofilm Recurrent infections Antimicrobial therapy failure Delayed wound healing infection Immune response to biofilm: low level inflammation and damage to surrounding tissue Physical/ mechanical intervention helps treat Infection symptoms may be obvious 1.Costerton JW et al.

19 Options for biofilm attack Physical disruption and removal Regular/maintenance debridement can help disrupt and reduce wound biofilm and planktonic bacterial levels 1,2 Debridement weakens the biofilm creating a time dependant window where increased susceptibility to antimicrobials is reported 1,3 Topical antimicrobials Mature biofilms are tolerant to the effects of many antibiotics and topical antimicrobials 4 7 Some topical antimicrobials are proven to rapidly kill biofilm bacteria over a sustained period (in vitro) 4 Multifaceted approach required: Sharp debridement to disrupt and weaken the biofilm 1 Antimicrobials to prevent re growth 1 1.Wolcott RD et al. J. Wound Care 2009; 18: Schwartz JA, et al. Int. Wound J. 2013; 10: Wolcott RD et al J. Wound Care 2010; 19: Phillips PL et al. Int Wounds J 2013: Singh R et al.

20 Biofilms are tolerant to many topical antimicrobials Silver Silver is not as effective against mature biofilms 1,3 Ag+ is the active agent in most silver dressings Charged antimicrobials more easily neutralised by negatively charged biofilm 2 Concentration of silver required to eradicate biofilm found to be x higher than planktonic bacteria (concentration of silver in currently available wound dressings is much too low for treatment of chronic biofilm wounds) 3 3 day old PAO1 biofilm cultured on 12 mm porcine explants. Results mean CFU/ml, n=9 4 Silver dressings are effective against planktonic bacteria and can prevent biofilm re formation 4 1. Phillips, et al. Int Wounds J; 2013: Stewart, P. S. et al. J. Appl. Microbiol , Bjarnsholt et al. APMIS : Driffield, K. et al. Poster presentation in SAWC (2007).
21 Biofilms are tolerant to many topical antimicrobials Iodine Iodine is highly effective against planktonic bacteria 1 Antimicrobials which are less reactive are less likely to be bound to the negatively charged EPS and are hypothesised to have more effect against biofilm bacteria 2 Older formulations of Iodine such as Povidone Iodine (PVP I) have a fast but rapidly decaying antibacterial action 3 3 day old PAO1 biofilm cultured on 12 mm porcine explants. Results mean CFU/ml, n=9 4 Need sustained activity to be effective against biofilm e.g. Cadexomer Iodine 4 1. McDonnell G et al. Clin Microbiol Rev 1999; 12: Stewart, P. S. et al. J. Appl.
