Abstract

Abstract: Background: Escherichia coli ST131 is a major challenge for global human health. Among ST131 isolates, the H 30 type is prevalent and displays multiple drug resistance to classes. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the O antigen, O25b, which is conserved in ST131- H 30 clonal lineage, was developed for diagnostic and prophylactic therapy. We optimized a 96-well plate assay to test different concentrations of the mAb against E. coli clinical isolates. Methods: Initial growth curves were performed against 69 ST131-O25b, 9 ST131-O25a, 32 ST131 non-O25, and 29 non-ST131 E. coli isolates in 40% active human serum (HS). Additional conditions evaluated for growth inhibition by the mAb included 3 media types, 3 HS sources, pH variations, addition of polysorbate 80 (P80), inoculum concentration, length of incubation, and varying calcium and magnesium concentrations. Once optimal parameters were established, the assay was miniaturized into a 96-well format and 12 ST131-O25b and 5 non-ST131 were tested. Fluorescence and visual reading using alamarBlue (AB), a cell metabolism indicator, were performed at 8 and 10h in addition to plating for viable colonies. Results: After 10h incubation, only 36/69 (52.2%) ST131-O25b isolates exhibited visible growth in BHI plus 40% HS. A 2-part growth inhibition assay using BHI plus 50% HS and BHI with 25% HS without the addition of P80, calcium, or magnesium was considered the optimal growth condition for EC strains to test the effect of the mAb. By 10 hours, all ST131-O25b strains displayed a visual inhibition of growth between 0.3-5 mg/L of α-ST131 mAb and zero non-ST131 strains were inhibited (Figure). While reading AB on a fluorometer was more sensitive and less subjective than visual interpretation, both reading methods allow for endpoint determinations. Additionally, panels were able to go through one freeze-thaw cycle and still retain α-ST131:O25b mAb activity. Conclusion: Concentration-dependent activity of a α-ST131:O25b mAb can be measured in vitro in a microtiter format; however, the growth inhibition by HS, while still providing enough complement for complement-mediated mAb killing, might be an obstacle. Additionally, assay reproducibility may be difficult without a consistent source of active HS.
