Comparison of Staphylococcus aureus tolerance between antimicrobial blue light, levofloxacin, and rifampin

Abstract excerpt

Background Bacterial biofilms readily develop on all medical implants, including percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) implants. With the growing rate of antibiotic resistance, exploring alternative options for managing biofilm-related infections is necessary. Antimicrobial blue light (aBL) is a unique therapy that can potentially manage biofilm-related infections at the skin-implant interface of OI implants....
