In silico and in vitro studies of GENT-EDTA encapsulated niosomes: A novel approach to enhance the antibacterial activity and biofilm inhibition in drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a common pathogen inducing catheter-related biofilm infections. Developing effective therapy to overcome antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Kp is a severe therapeutic challenge that must be solved. This study aimed to prepare niosome-encapsulated GENT (Gentamicin) and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) (GENT-EDTA/Nio) to evaluate its efficacy toward Kp strains. The thin-film hydration method was used to prepare various formulations of GENT-EDTA/Nio. Formulations were characterized for their physicochemical characteristics. GENT-EDTA/Nio properties were used for optimization with Design-Expert Software. Molecular docking was utilized to determine the antibacterial activity of GENT. The niosomes displayed a controlled drug release and storage stability of at least 60 days at 4 and 25 °C. GENT-EDTA/Nio performance as antimicrobial agents has been evaluated by employing agar well diffusion method, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the Kp bacteria strains. Biofilm formation was investigated after GENT-EDTA/Nio administration through different detection methods, which showed that this formulation reduces biofilm formation. The effect of GENT-EDTA/Nio on the expression of biofilm-related genes (mrkA, ompA, and vzm) was estimated using QRT-PCR. MTT assay was used to evaluate the toxicity effect of niosomal formulations on HFF cells. The present study results indicate that GENT-EDTA/Nio decreases Kp's resistance to antibiotics and increases its antibiotic and anti-biofilm activity and could be helpful as a new approach for drug delivery.
