Blue 470 nm light suppresses the growth of Salmonella enterica and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro
14 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Background and Objective Emerging evidence suggests that blue light can photo‐inactivate some bacteria of clinical importance. Consequently, we tested the hypothesis that 470 nm light can suppress growth of two recalcitrant bacteria, MRSA and Salmonella. Materials and Methods We plated 5 × 106 and 7 × 106 CFU/ml USA300 strain of MRSA and 1 × 106 CFU/ml of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium and Heidelberg....
