Abstract excerpt
Salmonella is a global foodborne pathogen that causes human diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis to severe systemic infections. Recently, antimicrobial blue light (aBL) showed effective bactericidal activity against a variety of bacteria (e.g., Salmonella) with varying efficiency. However, the antimicrobial mechanism of aBL has not been fully elucidated. Our previous report showed that the outer membrane...
