is one of the most frequently isolated microorganisms from burn wounds. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a new strategy that may improve antimicrobial treatment.
This study evaluated three meticillin-resistant (MRSA) and three meticillin-sensitive (MSSA) clinical isolates, which produced a biofilm with 0.1mg/ml Toluidine Blue O (TBO) (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) with an energy density of 45J/cm and 90J/cm, for MRSA and MSSA, respectively. The antibiofilm potential of aPDT with TBO was analysed using crystal violet assays and scanning electron microscopy.
TBO-aPDT significantly degraded the biofilm formed by MRSA and MSSA clinical isolates (p<0.05).
Our results indicated that aPDT is an effective approach to combat bacterial biofilms associated with burn wound infection. aPDT could provide a supplemental to the treatment of wound and tissue infection, and patients with burns may benefit from combined treatments.
是最常从烧伤创面分离出来的微生物之一。光动力抗菌疗法(aPDT)是一种新的抗菌治疗策略。
本研究评估了三种耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和三种耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MSSA)临床分离株,它们分别用 0.1mg/ml 甲苯胺蓝 O(TBO)(西格玛奥德里奇,德国)产生生物膜,能量密度分别为 45J/cm 和 90J/cm,用于 MRSA 和 MSSA。使用结晶紫分析和扫描电子显微镜分析 TBO-aPDT 的抗生物膜潜力。
TBO-aPDT 显著降解了 MRSA 和 MSSA 临床分离株形成的生物膜(p<0.05)。
我们的结果表明,aPDT 是一种有效对抗与烧伤创面感染相关的细菌生物膜的方法。aPDT 可以为创面和组织感染的治疗提供补充,烧伤患者可能受益于联合治疗。
