Because extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infections can cause life-threatening disease and effective treatments need to be developed, we examined the bactericidal effect of far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light therapy on ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli). The bactericidal effect on 2 types of ESBL-producing E. coli was the same as that on the wild strain although the results of drug resistance tests varied among these strains. We believe that irradiation with far-UVC is effective in preventing infection by ESBL-producing E. coli in health care settings.
由于超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)感染可导致危及生命的疾病,且需要开发有效的治疗方法,我们研究了远紫外线C(far-UVC)光疗法对产ESBL的大肠杆菌的杀菌作用。尽管这些菌株的耐药性测试结果各不相同,但远紫外线C对两种产ESBL的大肠杆菌的杀菌效果与对野生菌株的杀菌效果相同。我们认为,在医疗环境中,用远紫外线C照射可有效预防产ESBL的大肠杆菌感染。
