1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Bacteria can be killed by red light in the presence of a photosensitizer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of physiological and environmental factors on the susceptibility of some bacteria associated with oral infections in immunocompromised patients to killing by the photosensitizer toluidine blue O (TBO). METHODS AND RESULTS: Suspensions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and...
