Resistance in antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.
Antibiotics have increasingly lost their impact to kill bacteria efficiently during the last 10 years. The emergence and dissemination of superbugs with resistance to multiple antibiotic classes have occurred among Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter...
متن کاملPhotodynamic inactivation of multi-drug resistant pathogens in Hong Kong.
1. Photodynamic therapy could be an alternative treatment for highly prevalent local antibiotic-resistant pathogens. 2. Photodynamic inactivation using toluidine blue O was observed on both reference strains and clinical samples, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, e x t e n d e d s p e c t r u m β l a c t a m a s e – p r o d u c i n g Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoni...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Inactivation of Endopathogenic Microbiota Using Curcumin- mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy
Root canal disinfection is one of the main factors governing success of endodontic therapy. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is presented as a promising antimicrobial therapy that can eliminate microbiota present in infected root canal systems. In this study, a series of experiments investigated the effects of aPDT on cell viability and biofilm degradation ability of endopathogenic mic...
متن کاملCan bacteria save the planet?
The idea quickly spread. When the organizers of a San Diego Science Festival (www.sdsciencefestival.com) sought help and assistance from the Cambridge Festival, it eventually led to the establishment of the Science Festival Alliance. The US National Science Foundation (Arlington, VA) has joined the bandwagon and provides a 3-year US$3 million grant to promote the science programmes. Festivals i...
متن کاملCan entropy save bacteria?
This article presents a physical biology approach to understanding organization and segregation of bacterial chromosomes. The author uses a “piston” analogy for bacterial chromosomes in a cell, which leads to a phase diagram for the organization of two athermal chains confined in a closed geometry characterized by two length scales (length and width). When applied to rod-shaped bacteria such as...
