Abstract Introduction The application of biomimetic and stimuli-responsive nanocarriers displays considerable promise in improving the management bacterial sepsis overcoming antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, study aimed to synthesize a novel hyaluronic acid-lysine conjugate (HA-Lys) utilize attributes synthesized HA-Lys with Tocopherol succinate (TS) Oleylamine (OLA) formulation multifunctional pH-responsive HNLCs loaded vancomycin (VCM-HNLCs), combat sepsis. Methods A was characterized using FTIR 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Vancomycin-loaded hybrid nanosystems (VCM-HNLCs) were prepared through hot homogenization ultrasonication evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), encapsulation efficiency (EE%). In vitro biocompatibility assessed via MTT assay red blood cell hemolysis test. binding affinity TLR2 TLR4 measured microscale thermophoresis (MST). Drug release dialysis bag method. Antimicrobial activity against MRSA efflux pump inhibition also determined. Efficacy demonstrated an MRSA-induced mice model. Results VCM-HNLCs, produced ultrasonication, exhibited size (PS), (EE%) 110.77 ± 1.692 nm, 0.113 0.022, − 2.92 0.210 mV, 76.27 1.200%, respectively. , proven by cytotoxicity studies. VCM-HNLCs targetability human Toll-like receptors (TLR 2 4) as validated showed twofold reduction MIC values at physiological pH compared bare VCM S. aureus 48 h. While 6.0, reduced fourfold first 24 h eightfold subsequent 72 tested strains. Furthermore, inhibitory effects pumps, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hyperinflammation. model, superior efficacy free VCM, significantly eliminated bacteria improved survival rates. Conclusions Overall, these results highlight resistance (AMR) enhance outcomes. Graphical

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections, especially methicillin resistant (MRSA), constitute an alarming public health issue due to its association with high mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization costs. The increasing antibiotic resistance biofilm-associated infections of MRSA prompted the discovery novel more effective therapeutic strategies. Our team has been working on alternative therapies against S. infections. For this, we have repurposing existing antibacterial drug, rifabutin (RFB), through a nanotechnological platform, liposomes, aiming promote preferential targeting infected sites maximizing potential effect. RFB formulations commercial strain (MRSA ATCC®-33592), either in planktonic or biofilm forms, was assessed. displayed higher effects towards than vancomycin (VCM), gold standard treatment MBIC50 values 103 > 800 μg/ml, respectively. Moreover, antimicrobial effect RFB-loaded liposomes demonstrated be lipid composition-dependent based MIC50 values, which also confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. These studies supported that for positively charged electrostatic interaction at surface occurs without internalization. On other hand, neutral charge internalization within observed. this liposomal formulation stable human plasma, as 83 % still associated 24 h after incubation 37 °C. proof concept assessed systemic murine models infection. Therapeutic survival rates were evaluated animals induced treated free forms compared negative positive controls. lower infection model, 100 achieved all groups under study. However, model only group incorporated attained. In terms bacterial burden, exhibited levels when VCM, even using dose: 20 vs 40 mg/kg body weight, Overall, constitutes strategy being potentiated nanoplatform.
