To assess S. aureus in vitro viability after the exposure to ultraviolet light A (UVA) and riboflavin (B2).
Samples of S. aureus in 96 well plates (in triplicate) were exposed to riboflavin (B2) and ultraviolet light A (365 nm wavelength) at a power density of 3 mW/cm², 8 mm spot diameter, for 30 minutes. Control groups were prepared as well in triplicate: blank control, ultraviolet light A only, riboflavin only and dead bacteria Control. The bacterial viability was measured using fluorescent microscopy. In order to investigate the occurrence of "viable but non-culturable" microorganisms after treatment, the cell viability was also investigated by plate culture procedure onto a broth medium. Statistical analysis was performed using the triplicate values from each experimental condition.
No difference was observed among the treatment group and the control samples (p=1).
The combination of riboflavin 0.1% and ultraviolet light A at 365 nm did not exhibit antimicrobial activity against oxacillin susceptible S. aureus.
评估金黄色葡萄球菌在暴露于紫外线A(UVA)和核黄素(B2)后的体外生存能力。
将96孔板中的金黄色葡萄球菌样本(一式三份)暴露于核黄素(B2)和波长为365nm、功率密度为3mW/cm²、光斑直径为8mm的紫外线A下30分钟。同时也制备了一式三份的对照组:空白对照、仅紫外线A、仅核黄素和死菌对照。使用荧光显微镜测量细菌的生存能力。为了研究处理后“活的但不可培养的”微生物的出现情况,还通过在肉汤培养基上进行平板培养程序来研究细胞活力。使用每个实验条件下的一式三份值进行统计分析。
在处理组和对照样本之间未观察到差异(p = 1)。
0.1%的核黄素与365nm的紫外线A组合对苯唑西林敏感的金黄色葡萄球菌没有抗菌活性。
