Resumo:
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a major public health problem being Klebsiella pneumoniae and nontuberculous mycobacteria, both with high antibiotic resistance rates, among their etiological agent. Since biofilme assembly is pointed as one of the mechanisms involved in emergence of antibiotic resistance understanding bacteria organization within the biofilm and the identification of differences between planktonic and sessile forms of bacteria will be a step forward to fight HAI. In the present work we used SEM as a tool to characterize the internal structure of biofilm assembled on different surfaces. For SEM analysis, biofilms were allowed to form either on six-well cell culture plates, silicon or metallic disks placed inside the wells for different incubation periods at 37 °C. The biofilm assembled on the cell culture dish was for both secondary and backscattered electron analysis as described before. Biofilms assembled on silicon disks instead of being sectioned were prepared as metallographic samples, by grinding with grit SIC paper and polishing with diamond particles. Samples were cleaned (70% ethanol), dried with hot air, further coated and analysed. A preliminary study using FIB-SEM has been performed to access the ultrastructure of biofilms assembled on metallic surfaces. The results obtained showed that the same bacteria assembled biofilms with different ratios of biomass and extracellular matrix depending on the surface. SEM performed on thin sections of biofilms is a powerful tool to elucidate biofilm structure allowing the quantification of the major components. FIB-SEM is also a promising tool in this field.
