Embodiment 1
[0114] Example 1: BPO at a low sub-MIC can be sufficient to interfere with the QS of G. vaginalis, control G. vaginalis and prevent this pathogen from reaching its virulence state.
[0115] Experimental details: In the first step of the experiment, a broth microdilution assay was used to determine the MIC and sub-MIC of BPO against G. vaginalis, the main microorganism responsible for bacterial vaginosis. A concentration of 250 μg / mL was established as a sub-MIC for G. vaginalis (in other words, BPO concentrations greater than 250 μg / mL were required to completely inhibit the growth of G. vaginalis) .
[0116] As a second step, the concentration that inhibits biofilm production is determined. Several BPO concentrations were tested: 0, 31.25, 62.5, 125 and 250 μg / mL. A colorimetric method was used for biofilm staining and determination of percent biofilm integrity after treatment.
[0117] Result: if figure 1 As shown, biofilm formation was inhibited by approximately 80% whe...
Embodiment 2
[0126] Example 2. Level 3 ROS. The goal of finding a therapeutically effective concentration of an antibacterial drug (indeed, any drug) cannot be achieved in preclinical studies (eg, in vitro or in vivo), and is always the subject of clinical studies (studies in humans). Briefly, different concentrations will be tested in humans for both therapeutic efficacy and safety (side effects), and the concentration deemed to be the best combination of efficacy and safety will be selected as the therapeutic concentration. FDA expects drug companies to demonstrate both ends of the antimicrobial spectrum: low / inadequate efficacy at the low end and indications of increased toxicity / compromised safety at the high end. In this example, potency at the low end of the antimicrobial spectrum has been identified, which is anomalous and very unusual. In practice, this would mean that, for example, for the treatment or prevention of bacterial vaginosis, a particular BPO-containing gel at a concen...
